Because the infantry is the backbone of the army I feel safe taking a unit of infantry, but we should get some force composition direction from our leader to keep in mind as well. So that being said I am happy to come back to this to help adapt it to the Army's needs. Purple Viper Brigade (Infantry) Commander 8 80pts. 3 x Center Line Infantry Company 96pts. (companies: Blade Laser Blazer) Standard Size 12pts. Armed with Smooth-bore Muskets (18") Shooting skill of 3 6pts. (2x3) Morale of 5+ 8pts. (I think I calculated this correctly, a check of 5+ is two steps at 4 points per step?) Hand to Hand of 6 6pts. For a cost of 32pts. per company. Commander + 3 Center companies 176pts. If there are spare points I wouldn't mind a company of rifles to act as dedicated skirmishers 1 x Light Infantry Company 30pts. (company: Phaser) Small Size 8pts. Armed with Rifled Muskets (24") Shooting skill of 4 12pts. (4*3) Morale of 5+ 8pts. (again assuming I scored this one properly) Hand to Hand of 2 2pts. For a cost of 30pts. per company. If the points are there for my light company 206pts. VendoViper fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Jun 30, 2020 |

Not a problem for me. Happy to command more companies.

I assumed 6 was the maximum for hand to hand? If it isn't yes I would like my center companies to be made up of the burliest curs we can find. So with the extra points available it sounds like having a light company with rifles shouldn't be a problem.

So I think there is a slight error in your total, AtomiKkrab (with 4+ morale on the regular cav) is 156 points, Artillery at 220 and 5x of my Infantry Battalion design is 1030 points. That has us at 1406 points, which is 18.8 points per infantry battalion to buff them up. Bumping the moral of each center company to 4+ is an idea, that would be 12 of the 18.8 points per battalion. Giving the light companies the special rule of Crack Shot letting them re-roll any failed shots would bring us to 15 of the 18.8 points per battalion. Then bumping each center companies HtH up to 7 is another 3 points, getting us to 18pts. Proposed Infantry Battalion Commander 8 80pts. 3x Center Company Size: Standard 12pts. Armed with Smooth-bore Muskets (18") Shooting skill of 3 6pts. (2x3) Morale of 4+ 12pts. Hand to Hand of 7 7pts. For a cost of 37pts. per company. 1 x Light Infantry Company 30pts. Small Size 8pts. Armed with Rifled Muskets (24") Shooting skill of 4 12pts. (4*3) Morale of 5+ 8pts. Hand to Hand of 2 2pts. Special: Crack Shot (re-roll failed shots) 3pts. For a cost of 33pts. per company. Battalion Cost: 224pts. With 5 of these battalions, AtomikKrab's horse and sullat's guns we are at 1496 points. I recommend that either the heavy horse or one of the guns take a special rule or slight HtH bump to eat up the last 4 points. [e]Obviously all of our infantry are able to form square.

Jesenjin posted:I am all for default battalion. If you are interested and command approves, I could take a crack at designing you a more mobile element of dragoons to fit inside the points of one of the infantry brigades, however I would caution against taking out too much of our army's beef.

I agree with the initial plan of action, and that we should make sure to hold the river crossing as an important strategic location. I look forward to pinning the enemy in the center, and with the help of our battery of cannon smashing those dirty blues into paste. 1st infantry brigade will march in column formation lead by the light company and followed by 1 2 and 3 center companies down the road towards the village in the center [the branch that bends slightly to the west from the start line].  1st brigade will deploy at the village with 1 company occupying the forest to the west of the village, 2 company occupying the village itself and 3 company occupying the woods to the east. Light company will deploy between 2 and 3 company. The commander of 1st brigade will set up a command post in the Inn in town. Until we have more information on the enemies disposition we will assume a defensive posture.
