I was surprised by the victory! Didn’t see it coming. I really get how a commander could be fighting desperately and all of a sudden his army starts disappearing as troops start running of or simply surrendering. Also, I hope you enjoy the little interlude.

In this replay, I take the novel approach of sending the Austrian cavalry around via the North crossing. The French are almost beaten on Turn 1!

As I mature, I find small print difficult, not impossible, just annoying. Picking out details takes more effort. I want the challenge to come from the game itself, not the components. To that end, I’m trying something a little different. Hit or Miss dice. I can easily and quickly count how many hits I got.

The only adjustment I have to make is with die roll modifications. Instead of adding or subtracting from the die roll, I just add or subtract the actual number of dice rolled.

Four hits just counts as three hits.

BOOM!
