You are not benefited nor penalized for adjusting your forces. Given that miniatures wargaming is especially geared toward the visual, making it look as good as possible increases your enjoyment and having rules that allows units to advance a little, retreat a little, face this way or that, is a real benefit.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667428218897971037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38671384.post-44610588715520637942016-12-19T19:12:10.707-07:002016-12-19T19:12:10.707-07:00That was an enjoyable BatRep, Dale and provides a ...That was an enjoyable BatRep, Dale and provides a good feel for the game. I noticed in several photos that units are angled to face an opponent on a diagonal. Does TSiA have unit facing or is that simply an aesthetic mechanism?<br />Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38671384.post-64249662767585569602016-12-18T18:07:16.492-07:002016-12-18T18:07:16.492-07:00Hello Dale,

It is always enjoyable to read posts that really gets into a new set of rules, and then has an AAR like above that combines rules and battle insights with a enjoyable report. Your enjoyment of the battle came though in the report somehow, although I could not pinpoint how you did it; during the report, I was wondering if it was possibly the best ARW battle you had played, and it was! <br /><br />With my English background, I was hoping for the British to win but near the end I could see they had just run out of steam. I do not have much of an interest in this period but my love of rules analysis overcomes that. I am very tempted to get TSiA just for the great concepts it seems to employ.<br /><br />Lastly and tangentially, this comment you wrote early on struck a chord "In short, you do not want to become disordered (although you often cannot stop it), you want to rally from it as soon as you can, and you want to apply force to your opponent in hopes of disordering them at a critical moment (such as right when you charge)." I think this is much the same for WW2 (and other periods) - although you would replace disorder with something like "suppress/pin". I have recently modified my WW2 rules to provide more of this feel of applying pressure through suppression that requires rally and hoping that you can exploit this with close combat to rout the enemy. They remain untried but hoping to do so over the Christmas break.Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38671384.post-59638804174410228392016-12-18T13:49:43.594-07:002016-12-18T13:49:43.594-07:00A ton of work on your part and a pleasure to read ...A ton of work on your part and a pleasure to read - thank you.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38671384.post-29447242687049628412016-12-18T11:53:06.993-07:002016-12-18T11:53:06.993-07:00Nicely done Dale.
