On a natural 10, apply both:

Fallen leader: The player controlling the target rolls D10 for each attached leader and

exceptional brigade commander. On 1-5, the leader is removed and a replacement

commander appears after a full turn.

Low on ammunition for all brigades and batteries participating in the fire who fired

half or more of their stands at the target.

Range table (union/confederate)

Fire effects

- Disordered: The unit is marked disordered and must attempt to rally the

next turn. Fire points are halved, suffers penalties in charges, may not

change formation.

- Silenced battery: May not fire until rallied. Must rally the next turn by

limbering up and moving a full move towards the friendly table edge the

next turn. May not unlimber as a part of this move.

- Loss of stands: Eliminated stands are removed. Loss of stands causes

penalties during charges and lowers the effectiveness of the brigade.

Effectiveness drops (fresh -> worn -> spent) take effect at the beginning of

the turn.

- Low on ammunition: Halves Fire points. Causes penalties in charges. Is

replenished by brigades by moving beyond enemy musketry range during

the movement phase. Batteries replenish by limbering up and moving

towards the friendly table edge. Batteries low on ammo can only fire

canister fire!

- Leader killed: The leader is removed form play and a replacement arrives the next turn. VPs are awarded.

Result difference

Effects

7 or more Swept from the field - Defenders retreat a full move disordered/silenced. One troop stand is captured and one stand skedaddles. A leader and a battery, if present, are captured. An additional stand is captured for each result difference over 10. Attackers breakthrough and must continue to charge a half move toward the nearest enemy with the breakthrough charge modifier.

4,5,6 Driven Back Defenders retreat disordered/silenced beyond enemy musketry range. One troop stand skedaddles. One artillery stand if present, is captured. Attackers either carry the position or may continue to charge a half move toward the nearest enemy with the breakthrough charge modifier.

1,2,3 Hard pressed Defending brigades are disordered and retreat until 2 from the enemy. Batteries are silenced and retreat beyond enemy musketry range. Attackers carry the position.

0 A desperate struggle Both sides are disordered and lose one stand of troops or guns. Continue charge combat and roll again with adjusted modifiers.

-1,-2,-3 Assault checked Attackers are disordered and retreat 2 from the enemy

-4,-5,-6 Attack falters Attackers retreat in disorder beyond enemy musketry range and one stand skedaddles.

-7 or less Charge repulsed Attackers retreat a full move in disorder and one stand skedaddles. One leader, if present, and a stand of troops are captured. An additional troop stand is captured for each result difference over 10.

Formations

- Remember, you can only change between these formations by rolling a

well handled or rally with elan on the maneuver check!

Line of battle: All stands in one line. The default formation.- Counts all stands in charges.

Supported Line of battle: Stands divided evenly in exactly two ranks. Gains +1 bonus in charges, but the second rank cannot fire. This formation can also be adopted by placing two different brigades one after another within 1"- Counts all stands in two ranks for charges.

March column: Stands snaking in one stand wide column. The only brigade formation to benefit from the road bonus. Suffers enfilade from all directions. Changing to/from this formation costs half of the brigades movement allowance.- Counts the frontmost two stands for charges.

Field column: Stands arranged in a two stand wide formation. Gains +1 to maneuver checks and can change facing free of charge. Changing to/from this formation costs half of the brigades movement allowance.- Counts all stands for charges. Also gains the +1 supported line bonus in charges

Sequence of play

Maneuver Phase:

The active players maneuver their brigades, batteries and leaders.

1. Replace fallen leaders, attach/detach leaders from brigades. Leader may

move before attaching.

2. Move brigades and batteries, one at a time. Moving brigades must roll

maneuver check.

- Disordered Brigades must roll for rally, Silenced batteries must retreat.

3. Move detached leaders.

Musketry and Cannonade Phase:

The Inactive players resolve their defensive fire combat and apply all combat effects.

The Active players then resolve their offensive fire combat and apply all combat

effects.

Charge phase:

All players simultaneously resolve combat for all charges made during the maneuver

phase and breakthrough. All combat effects are simultaneously applied at the

resolution of combat.

1. Determine participating stands and incidental stands for all charges.

2. Calculate relevant modifiers.

3. Roll dice and apply results.

4. Fight a second round where necessary (Desperate struggle, breakthroughs)

once all first round combat has been resolved and results applied.

Lastly: Advance time track, active players become inactive and vice versa. Return to

maneuver phase.
