Hi I know that Empire III had a skirmish combat element intended for use at the beginning of a battle but have a method of carrying out skirmish combat in rough/broken terrain and say woods?
Thanks Richard |

Hiya Do you possess an actual copy of Empire III rules? After getting them from the cupboard… Skirmish combat occurs at the beginning of every tactical combat phase (which consists of IGOUGO "impulses"). It only occurs before the first impulse if the controlling player wants it and if there is no formed cavalry around. Dice are rolled and then the following factors are applied: skirmish combat quality, cover, density, morale class. Then the victory results table…Draw, Limited Vicotry, Victory, or Decisive Victory. Then the winner can apply skirmish fire to formed units. ..now have headache and suffering bad flashbacks. Rules back in cupboard. |

As noted, skirmish combat can be initiated by the winner of each hourly round
As with all combat in Empire III modifiers are in play, Super Heavy, heavy, medium and light cover |
