"Legacy of Glory rules skirmish phase?" Topic

Hi
I have been playing the Legacy of Glory rules and have come up with a question about Skirmish phase in the game.

As I under stand that each Battalion has one skirmish point to add to it's skirmish screen, in the game I played the Austrians where holding a hill, I attacked them with my French light infantry.

The Austrians had no lights coving them and so only could use there company lights to do this, we did the skirmish and I drove them off, the next turn I moved up on to his main line, As they where line troops there was no skirmishing phase, Do you miss this and just fire at them as per normal combat using your FML % and just shoot them up?.

I greatly admire you for being able to play Legacy of Glory. I am reasonably bright and well educated, but I could never figure out how to play them. They really interested me as I thought if I could play them, and if they would be "playable", they would do just what I wanted in a Napoleonic game.

So I am sorry I cannot answer your question, but I found a set of Napoleonic rules that evolved from Legacy of Glory and are quite playable. Also, the author answers questions via a Yahoo Group very quickly and clearly.

The rules are Et Sans Resultat, published by The Wargaming Company. Here is a link:

From what I remember you are doing it correctly. We figured the one skirmish line was forced back and the winnng sides skirmish line had moved to cover the flanks so the main lines would come into contact. Not sure if that's correct or not. I think that's how we did it back in the day.

I agree with GarryOwen, look at ESR. To me LOG was the first set of rules that 'got it right' but where very hard to understand. I consider ESR the logical successor to LOG.

Could you tell me what the command system is like in ESR?, Looked around could not find much about it.
The reason I am using LoG is for they way the command works.
