Battle of Johnson Pass
Plains War Campaign – Turn 11 Situation
A battalion of the 7th Cavalry lead by Colonel Jake "Sticky Boots" Doubleday has followed the Indians through Johnson Pass in order to press them from the east while the other cavalry regiments attack the Sacred Gathering grounds from the north. The 7th had to stop and wait for supply, which gave the Hunkpapa and Sans Arc time to regroup and move into Johnson Pass. The 7th (4 cavalry companies and 1 company of Crow Scouts) are in a defensive position while 11 warbands from the Sans Arc and Hunkpapa tribes try to eliminate them and the threat of their advance on the Sacred Gathering Grounds. Brian Connolly commanding the 7th Cavalry
Ben Fryer commanding the Hunkpapa Warriors
Mike Bolling commanding the Sans Arc Warriors Game Special Rules

What is the "Rule of 1/3"? |
| DinOfBattle2 | 07 Feb 2009 10:50 p.m. PST |
Rule of 1/3 for Piquet is that the winner of the impetus gets their impetus, but the loser gets 1/3 the amount rounded down. This keeps people always in the game even during a big impetus run. If you don't know what impetus is in Piquet then this won't likely make much sense. :-) |

Din I do know Piquet, but hadn't come across this variant. I've tended tio use a D12 'God Dice', where both sided get the number of points impetus over the D12 – so neither side is guaranteed impetus. |

There are many options for this. We tend to like the rule of 1/3. It will be in an optional rule in Din of Battle 2, which I'm writing. Eric |

The battle is tonight! Can't wait! I will upload the results to this site and my campaign site. Cheers!
