We just struggled with that as it is just not how any of the rules we play or have played work so it really screwed with our sense of the turn sequence, which meant less shooting due to troops being out of position. So you have to think about shooting for the next turn when you move in the current turn or you'll be shooting at nothing or an unintentional target because that is all that is in range or can be seen. Fixed that. With my changes I really enjoy the rules.Jay Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526516499890662958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-21637973750932872312022-12-15T16:18:19.160-08:002022-12-15T16:18:19.160-08:00Howdy Jay, first thanks for stopping by my blog an...Howdy Jay, first thanks for stopping by my blog and checking out MESB. Been struggling keeping up with blogging, but I am still here.<br /><br />Love the pictures. A while back when those rules first came out my group picked them up, and we weren't sold on them. I don't remember why now, but I have to dig through my pile of rulebooks and find it and revisit it with your changes. Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />Cheers<br />KevinKevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496898036305134720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-30798108229947415172022-12-15T11:33:47.665-08:002022-12-15T11:33:47.665-08:00Most welcome, best of luck with your game :-)Most welcome, best of luck with your game :-)Jay Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526516499890662958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-85070408735510748242022-12-15T08:54:34.515-08:002022-12-15T08:54:34.515-08:00Much appreciated Jay!!!Much appreciated Jay!!!Tiger73https://www.blogger.com/profile/12756078184427759030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-8230411745234222832022-12-14T15:44:56.956-08:002022-12-14T15:44:56.956-08:00Oh excellent!

I applied no movement penalty for moving through the town or buildings, but treat buildings like interpenetrating a unit ... you can't stop on top of it and you take a DMZ for interpenetration unless you have a leader attached. The side with the higer number of infantry and artillery bases in the section control.it. Skirmishers and leaders/lieutentants don't count for control. I also gave the units located in a town section cover, so shooting needed 6's to hit. The "hedgerow" technically is marking a frozen creek (just don't have one) so doesn't offer any cover or block LOS ... it reduces movement by 3" (for 28mm). I think that about covers it.Jay Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526516499890662958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-80730849093313662272022-12-14T10:23:27.901-08:002022-12-14T10:23:27.901-08:00Jay, I have downloaded your 2 rules pages & pl...Jay, I have downloaded your 2 rules pages & plan on using most of your changes. I will keep the original ranges as I game in 15mm. How did you handle regiments located in the town blocks as far as movement, firing & melee? Inspired by your product I have set up a Trenton game in snow scape. Plan on hosting a game either right before or after Christmas. Thanks for all you do!Tiger73https://www.blogger.com/profile/12756078184427759030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-70904609377796793912022-12-14T08:11:37.005-08:002022-12-14T08:11:37.005-08:00Most welcome :-)Most welcome :-)Jay Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526516499890662958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-12469937033319949102022-12-14T08:11:15.513-08:002022-12-14T08:11:15.513-08:00Thanks Stephen! :-)Thanks Stephen! :-)Jay Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526516499890662958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-81300428491144584592022-12-14T01:18:13.483-08:002022-12-14T01:18:13.483-08:00Nicely done thanks for your OOB👍Nicely done thanks for your OOB👍Matt Crumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841790422716738842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-38294836782901419312022-12-13T23:37:00.317-08:002022-12-13T23:37:00.317-08:00Thanks for the report.
