summary of the Austrian cavalry unit skills and rules for Clausewitz
Battle of Roliça: A most important affair
Background: The Battle of Roliça took place on the 17th of August 1808. It was the first battle between British and French forces of the Peninsular War. British Lieutenant General Sir Arthur Wellesley (later the Duke of Wellington) commanding a Anglo-Portuguese force met French General of Division Francois Delaborde near the village of Roliça. Anglo-PortugueseContinue reading “Battle of Roliça: A most important affair”

A run through of the Austrian infantry units for use in Clausewitz.
Discord
First of all, before I begin I’d like to apologise. As you may have noticed I’ve been a littl might on posts recently. There are a number of reasons for this, having a daughter under the age of two who acts like a gremlin after midnight, and studying for exams. So I hope you’ll forgiveContinue reading “Discord”
Command and Control
I’ve written a few articles on command and control now and none of the rules I’ve written so far feel like they’ve hit the sweet point of historical accuracy and speed of play. In this article I would like to run through a few options I’ve been considering and hopefully get feedback from yourselves aboutContinue reading “Command and Control”

POINTS There will be a points system which will allow players toContinue reading “Game Choices”
Actions & Reactions
During my own testing and following the feedback of the play testers it has become apparent that reactions are incredibly strong and allow for an opportunity for players to cover over mistakes they may have made in their movement or deployment. Therefore I’m reinstating the five actions/reactions rule, i.e. a unit can make a maximum of five actions and reactions combined.
Time Off
I’ve been writing rules for Clausewitz now non-stop for six weeks. As such, I’m choosing to take a couple of weeks rest from Clausewitz. Hopefully I’ll be able to come back with fresh ideas to drive the game forward once more. There are various areas I’d like to improve on at this point and I’veContinue reading “Time Off”
Command & Control Thoughts
There is always a clear chain of command for the issuing of orders in a battle. Commander-In-Chief Corp Commanders Division Commanders Brigade Commanders Unit Commanders For Clausewitz, the CinC may be at any level from Divisional and upwards, therefore I believe I need to implement a sounds system which can replicate the Napoleonic battlefield ordersContinue reading “Command & Control Thoughts”
