Army Deployment.Can you see all the mistakes? |
Richard's army once again, modified by my army list. It failed. Completely.
- The reserve division is not IN reserve.
- It's deployed on the left flank.
- It's not deployed in the village it can use to anchor the flank.
- The division reserve is right behind the main unit, it should be in between both units and 4 inches (ca. 10 cm) further back. It can move up when needed.
- The unit on the hill should be behind the hill in a reverse slope and hidden until the enemy army is deployed. In FOGN you don't show your army list until it is all on table.
- The middle division needs its reserve brigade between them in chequer board fashion.
- The unit in the strong point village should be occupying it, not defending it.
- The strongpoint should, be in the opponents half or my army must be behind it.
- The redoubt needs to be 2 unit blocks apart and if nothing else forward of the strongpoint.
- The rough terrain should be further in the opponents half.
- The entire army should, be behind the strong point and redoubt. Having 2 redoubts AND a strongpoint will complicate matters for the enemy unless I then don't deploy my army behind it!
- A single cavalry unit is not a good reserve.
- I should have put the left and centre flanks behind the right flank and only fought on that side of the table. A smaller army needs a small area to fightin
