Assuming you have kept a command point in hand, you can attempt a cavalry react after to turn to face the cossacks after they have moved, and then charge them in your own following turn. Sure they will evade, but they that gets them out of the way a bit, and they just might roll low for their evade and get caught...<br /><br />Cheers<br />Brett Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-84988155639400574.post-91195646083720300492023-03-22T04:04:35.907+11:002023-03-22T04:04:35.907+11:00Hi Tristram. I love reading your battle reports, ...Hi Tristram. I love reading your battle reports, thanks for posting..<br />Dave is a good player. Very clever how he used terrain to protect his artillery. As you noted you had an ideal counter available in the Spanish Guerilla unit. It could navigate the terrain, artillery drop a dice when boarding them, they are semi-expendable and good at skirmish fire- which is an Achilles heel for artillery.<br />Another good counter against artillery are large units. Difficult with an expensive Brit army I know.<br /><br />Lastly, once the guns are deployed they are slow to redeploy. So a trick is to try and get your opponent to deploy his massed batteries, then go elsewhere. Which is what you did. Try to keep over 6" away from the guns and don't give them flank shots or squares to target. <br />All easier said than done against a good player, I know.<br /><br />Oh, and rolling better the your opponent can help to.<br /><br />Keep up the reports, hopefully I'll see you in Melbourne in July<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
