"Representing 'line' in Blucher rules" Topic

I have been scanning the web for images, but I can't see how the British line formations are represented on the table, Vs column, assault column etc of other nations.

Am I missing the point and that basing wise, everything is just multiple ranked as a single block. I know there is scope in 6mm to show two blocks on the same base, but I will be using 10mm.

Sorry if that sounds like a bit of a ramble – but basically, i quite like the single basing idea and just wondered how the 'line' as opposed to assault column are represented. Thanks Norm.

Blusher is a grand tactical game.You do not manage battalion formations. You can base your figures as you wish. The only extra command is prepared which represents a brigade/division taking measures to meet cavalry.

Yes, no formation changes in the game. A unit represent several batalions and if "prepared" command given it's assumed that some or all battalions go in to square.

Differences between nations' capabilities are not as pronounced as in smaller level games. Main differences are command and control and skirmish capabilities. At least in the two scenarios I played so far.

"Blucher" system has 3 or 4 major rules with some "chrome" to represent better fire systems, heavy cavalry, etc.

Depending on the tactical situation every army used line formation. Before 1813 the French probably used line as much as the British. Being a grand tactical game Blucher assumes brigades are fighting in the most appropriate formation. As I recall in Blucher, average British line infantry have a firepower advantage at close range and a defensive bonus in melee.
