Now playing Charlie's Year. OK, I lied. I'm still reading the rules.

Hi Ian

Just a few more questions that popped up during play:

1) Do you use the minor casualties chart if the casualties generated is
less than 1 after rounding up or do you not round? 

2) Is there an brigade box for the Dutch on the army display? Is it the
Hs one? 

3) Can an unit ambush if it is finished? 

4) Finally, the sequence for combat is different between the one in 9.13
and on the last page of Book II. Assume we use the one in 9.13 but add
the step where you determine steps per side. 

Mike

Hi Mike.

1) After rounding up (eg. 0.4 casualties or less). Should only be
necessary with very small battles. 

2) Use the Hessian Box. There was supposed to be a note to that effect,
but I must have forgotten to include it. One of the minor problems you
face when your hard drive crashes and you have to replace everything.
You'll note the Hessians don't enter play unless the Dutch have left. 

3) No. Finished units are useless at everything except defending
themselves. 

4) You are correct, except that BW reliability is checked prior to
combat actually occurring, as per the back cover (put the bean counting
in that slot instead).

How's the play going?
