Black powder but not black powder

Wee derrick has a bunch of casualty markers on his website. If you are based for black powder, 3 caualty markers and the 4th is a base.

Fixed that for you, Tim.

Can anyone explain the significance of 19 sheep in Essex Boy's basing methodology?

Thanks gents all good food for thought. I think Charge is the way to go. Hadn't even considered it despite it being the most recent book I bought. I am no Napoleonic expert so may even go Imaginaps to an extent as with the Charge theme. I'm liking the new Perry Saxons so they might be the next unit.

So far I only have a 36man unit of Prussian line, 2 guns and a stand of Landwehr painted from years ago and more recently the horse gun. Cavalry still to paint. I can't see me with more than two or three line units a few guns and a couple of horse units done in the next few years alongside everything else. But that would be perfect Charge material.

I put some napoleonic flavoured amendments for Charge on my blog a while back.

For my classic Napoleonics I am organising my infantry units with 61 figures each. 2 * 24 Infantry battalions, 12 skirmishers and a mounted officer. So a unit can lose 31 figures before it goes below 50% and retires losing effectiveness.

When I started wargaming there was a heated debate on the 50% rule that raged in the pages of the Miniature Warfare magazine.

I think it still goes on
I think most units would "bug out" long before they lost 50% if they had a choice!

Presumably other rules allow that to happen, and the "51%" rule is a sort of reverse safety net that prevents it going any further?

That's what I read, until input my specs on.

Equally true.

Of course, he may have been trying to spell "botox".....
