A question aimed at players of the said rules. I'm looking to do the WSS using 10mm figs. The rules state 40mm bases, would it make any difference to game play if I reduced this to 30mm wide. I've only had a quick read through so far. thanks in advance. |

Its been a while since I read through those rules, as I recall there is a difference between how rank and platoon fire battalions are based. I think rank were two bases and platoon were three, but I can't recall if the bases of the two firing techniques were different widths. I will have to check. |

from what my quick read through tells me, rank fire btns are based 2 deep on two bases 40mm wide, platoon 1 deep on 3 40mm bases. mine will 2 and 3 deep I need to know if altering the width to 30mm will affect the game in any way. I can't see it but you never known. |

Set up some 'paper exercises ', assume perfectly average dice rolling, so if d6 24 rolls give 4 of each result, etc. See what happens |

I'm trying to join the Captain General Yahoo group, but I don't think anyone's left to moderate it. |

Given the stated ground scale of 20 yards to the centimetre, reducing the elements to 3cm (vice 4) would, I think, bring the units closer to the right size. Cheers David |

I'm not sure if you are talking about the Capitan Games forum for their rules or some other facility. Capitan's rules titles normally end "_____ Commander" – as in "Divisional Commander", "Marlburian Commander", etc. If you do want to refer queries to Capitan Games, please e-mail info@capitangames.com and someone will respond to your enquiry. The forum became defunct when we went for a year without any queries or postings but we still support the rules and will be happy to respond to questions. Cheers, Mike Oliver |

I am talking about the Captain General rules as sold by the Pike and Shot society. Wargame rules for the 17th and 18th century. |
