Bonjour Mr Zucker ,

Bravo for your new son. A lot of improuvements. Thank-you!

Question: Michel Ney did not have a bad campagne in 1814 . Why do you made a rule for him (even optional) ?

By the way , I am very surprised you forgot to correct the counter of the Marquis de Grouchy. Napoleon made him

Q) Designate the Attacking Force, Standard Rules, page 17: In the Exception, what does "eliminated" mean here? Wiped off the map, or forced to vacate the hex? I think it should be the latter ...

A) That's right.

Q) and the following should be added: Any part of the attacking force that does not pursue and is not in a ZOC may advance into the vacated hex. This is not considered pursuit.

A) I agree that this rule makes sense. The only problem is it creates a whole new event, the "non-pursuit advance," for what is already an exceptional situation. I'd rather say, what amounts to the same thing, that the "advancing" force makes a regular pursuit but can participate in another combat if it stops its pursuit after one hex.

Q) This gets around the restrictions of the hex grid. For example, two French force in 1349 and 1449, two Coalition forces in 1348 and 1448. If the force in 1448 retreats, the French force in 1449 can't do anything. This change would let them advance one hex in 1448 and join in the attack on 1348. Also, I don't know why this rule is limited to the first round -- why not any round?

A) Just for simplicity. You could say those forces join in the nearby combat on the round after their pursuit.

Stacking the Old Guard, page 19

Q) What does "the battle is resolved as a Pursuit battle mean? If the French win and the opponent has a Pitched chit, it becomes a pursuit instead? If the French lose and have a Pitched chit, it becomes a pursuit chit instead?

A) Yes, and Yes.

Rearguard Battle Type, Exclusive Rules, page 19.

Q) Can a force that designates a rearguard battle pursue if it wins? If so, why pick a pitched battle when a rearguard battle gives you more flexibility? Of course, this would require the winning force to reveal the battle chit at the end of battle, but that's OK.

A) You are right. A rearguard should not be able to pursue if it wins.

III.b.3 The Sound of Guns

Q) Does this case apply only to the non-phasing player's units?

A) Yes.

Q) There is no +1 to the init DR as in the past?

A) No +1, but the extra die roll attempts more than make up for that.
