Battle Rules

Rules for the campaign:

 

These are supposed to keep it simple yet bring a fluidity to the battles.

 

To be victorious in the Royal campaign 6 key points needs to be taken.

 

Assume that a town  has to be attacked. Eatch battle shall be decided by the best of 3, those 3 battles simulate the strategy of the commander where he decide to attack, the center/ rightwing/ leftwing, eatch of these sections are a battle that counts on the best of 3 result.

 

The Emperor will send dispatches via the forum on witch towns to be taken ( Keypoints) The Royalist campaign is builded on achieving succesfully 6 keypoints.  So in theory the Royalist campaign could be played over 18 battles, where eatch Keybattle is played by the best of 3 concept.

 

The battles will be played in NTW2 with the regular rules of LOV GM ON 2 artillery maximum per commander.  Teams Can decide to group their artilery under one commander.  NTW  Will be our main game untill the arrival of LG and NTW, where the battle rules will be reviewed.

 

Each time the french fight a battle for a keypoint the following shall happen,they will lose 1000 FL’s for a win or 2000 Fl’s  for a defeat. This is to represent casualties and the extending of the supply lines during a campaign. The maximum amount of Fl’s to be lost is 4000Fl’s or a weak army is equal to 6000Fl’s.

 

The allies shall lose no units for the next battle. This is unfair i hear u say,well this leads me onto the next part, the french have currently a reserve at Paris The Guard. The guard consists of Cheval cavalry young guard,middle guard and the old gaurd.

 

Armistice

 

If an armystice is agreed, the armies can regain their strength by 500FL’s/day as long the armistice lasts.

 

 

The guard can be introduced by the marshals in 2 ways:

 

1,after 3 consecutive defeats ( key battles) at the hands of the allies.

2,The last 2 battles of the campaign,by this time the french army will have become ragged and short of reinforcements it will become a good equalizer,and make for a more interesting campaign.

 

The commanding officer of Napoleonics is send with his Corps to the campaign region, there he will establish his headquarters and lead his campaign through the N forum, and make sure the battles required in this campaign are fought. Organise his Troops, create ordre of battles, posting results on the “head quarters in the field” forum under his HQ’s.

Its up to the Commanding officer to decide who he will commit to battle.

 

Battles can be fought as:

 

1-1

2-2

3-3

4-4

 

No naval battles will take place in this campaign as the Napoleonics Fleet is still in full construction.
