Strategic Rules

15 May, 2016 - Kolakhan | 0 Comments

Campaign Game Rules

Setup:
The game will be played by two sides made up of individual countries each represented by one NW Regiment. The Allied Coalition will be The UK-B, Austria-A, Prussia-P, Russia-R, Poland-L, The Ottomans-O and Sweden-W. The French Coalition will consist of France-F, Spain-S, Portugal-G, The Kingsom of Naples-N, The Kingdom of Italy-I, The Confederation of the Rhine-C and Denmark-D. Each player will start with one army in their Capital.

Daily Moves:
Each day each country will submit a move to the Game Master via Steam by 4PM EST. If a move has not been received that country will be considered to have not moved their army. Each army may move 2 squares per turn per day. The move message will consist of army name, square moved from to square moved to ie: France, K10 to K12. The Coalitions will be able to view the completed map with all armie's positions to encourage battle activity. Each country has a unique letter designation that represents their army as noted next to their name above. Every army has a "zone of control" of all the squares directly around them. An ememy army may not pass through from one ZOC to another. Once entered unless you attack the the army itself your movement stops and you may only either attack the enemy on a future move or move out of the ZOC.

How Do Battles Occur:
When a battle occurs the strategic moves will continue until a second battle happens. There can be two battles in the saturday night que and then strategic moves will stop. Once one of the battles is adjudicated the strategic may restart. That way there will always be 1 or 2 battles for the game night to play. A battle will occur when two units of the opposite faction attempt to enter the same square or a unit moves into a square containing an enemy units or two units adjacent attempt to cross the same boundry line. When an army enters or leaves a sea square their turn will end even if they haven't moved two squares. Units entering a sea square become "navies" with troops loaded on board. Units entering a square with a City which has an enemy army "in place" (has not moved on that turn) will fight a siege battle consisting of 2 rounds in which the attacker must win both rounds. The map will be designated by the Game master. The defender may always choose the Captital defense map. Standard KH Wed Night rules will apply 5 lives, 20 min.

Line Battle/Siege Results:
Enemy squares that have been moved through or taken by battle become the property of the opposing side and will be noted on the map. If you lose a battle your army will restart back at your Capital. If you lose your Capital you will start at an allies Capital furtherest away fron where you lost the battle. In the tactical battle the attacker must win the best of three rounds. The attacker must reduce the defending army to 40 men or less to win. The defender may still prevail by then eliminating the attacking army in which case they win The attacker is determined by which army moved into a square that contained an enemy army that did not move or if both armies moved to combat the army that is in enemy territory. In the battle any delaying tactics such as running around the map avoiding combat by a defender will result in a slay. They may retreat to a better position but continuous running will be considered delaying.

Strategic and Tactical Setup:
Both sides will be allowed up to 99 men on the game server. It is the leaders of the side who are responsible to maintain this level or below. Should your battle numbers be above 99 you will be slayed starting at the bottom of the slay list regardless of who you are. Each side is allowed up to 15 cav, 15 skirms, 15 arty and 15 Grenadiers. The rest of the players must choose normal infantry. Only Skirms and Grenadiers may FOC and Grenadiers may have a sapper. The leader of the army involved in the combat will be considered the "Commanding General" for that battle and will assign all specialists and dictate the tactics of the battle. If for some reason a player in your Coalition does not show up or has indicated they cannot come the Commanding General may get an "outside" Regiment as a replacement if he so wishes. Any Regiment that fails to maintain a resonable attendence can be replaced during the campaign.

A Coalition wins the Campaign game by taking and holding 4 enemy capitols. All the areas of Denmark are passable by land movement.

- When charging remain within proxity of your unit, 10 spaces to the next closest man or less, if I see someone taking a wide path (I have seen 20-40 yards) they will be considered a rambo

- Build points will be 200 per side to accomodate Grens as well as arty

All:
Skirms and Grenadiers may fire once on the charge (FOC) but may not reload again during that charge. "On the charge" MEANS there must be the full intent and execution of melee as a result of the charge. Units may also fire once on retreat (FOR) but may not reload again during that retreat until "those reloading" reform as a unit. Skirms and Grenadiers are exempt and some may still be involved in melee. Cav "drive bys" are prohibited! A unit may choose to break their charge if their intended target retreats. They may then reform and reload and continue to perform as normal.

Skirms: Rifles and Light Infantry may use rocks and trees to their advantage. This means that you may split your Regiment across rocks and trees, but must have two units minimum to a tree or rock. These groups do not have to be within spacing of another group. If a group that is behind cover becomes a single player for any reason that single player must be within spacing rules or is considered a rambo.

Siege Rules Addendum
- Time limit per round is 20 min, defenders get 5 lives
- Attackers get 2 artillery pieces, defenders can use all they choose
- 1 sapper per Reg
- different troop types ie: skirms, grens, cav are now allowed in siege
- all troop types must move out of spawn or the defenses in groups of 4+ or more
- you may mix troop types and regiments in your 4+ man groups EXCEPT cav which must have 4 of their own IF mounted, if dismounted may mix in with other types
