Once in a while it is worthwhile to revisit core rules to remind yourself of the changes you have made and if they actually make a difference - sometimes in retrospect changes amount to hair splitting.<br /><br />We would normally make Russian infantry and guns stubborn by giving them an 'up' versus morale challenges and class the horse as very ordinary.<br /><br />JAMES ROACHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04019888286247164276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946235325566947321.post-28838859780644225342013-11-05T09:34:24.134-08:002013-11-05T09:34:24.134-08:00I'm not sure about the idea of making any of t...I'm not sure about the idea of making any of the Russians "elite". Solid yes, and not likely to run away, but not elite.<br /><br />I think that you can give them a "fight to the last man" mentality with the infantry and artillery, but Russian cavalry was very ordinary, had lesser quality horse flesh than the Prussians , and a lot of the cavalry regiments only fielded 3 squadrons to the Prussians 5.<br /><br />Also, given that your scenario is post -Kunersdorf, probably no elites in the Prussian army Der Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946235325566947321.post-84246985992674911392013-11-04T23:48:47.432-08:002013-11-04T23:48:47.432-08:00My plan is to do Zorndorf over the two days of She...My plan is to do Zorndorf over the two days of Sheffield Triples - it's too big for a one day show.JAMES ROACHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04019888286247164276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946235325566947321.post-29236349747275520372013-11-04T19:20:44.262-08:002013-11-04T19:20:44.262-08:00I also agree with the book, and this scenario in p...I also agree with the book, and this scenario in particular is one of my favorites.
