Valour & Fortitude practice
Posted: Tue Jan 02, 2024 10:31 pm
I've used the Valour & Fortitude rules twice, some months ago.
I often run simulations prior to games to try out tactics, re-fresh a rule set, or in this case, make sure I actually know & can use the rules.
So far, the rules seem relatively simple & uncontroversial…..we'll see.
You may notice I'm using 3 gun batteries instead of the recommended 1 gun model battery. Two reasons for this – 1 model doesn't give an artillery battery any presence or, I think, the necessary footprint. And, my collection has always used 3-4 models for a battery & I don't want to have 75% of my guns as superfluous.The only issue I can think of is the bigger batteries might clog up the battlefield but if so, I think we could allow the Rules' brigade interpenetration rules to apply to stray artillery batteries.
I'm very much looking forward to the game on the 13th.
A French Brigade pitched against an Anglo-Hanoverian brigade.
French in column & attack columns
British in traditional line with 95th skirmishers in front.
