Historical Tactics

[bwv]

Examples - move and melee and move somebody else into the hole and melee and move somebody else up and shoot and move somebody else and set up a perfect counter defense - before the other guy is given the chance to move a muscle. Phasing was better because it imposed a more realistic lack of coordination before the other guy can react. Even better would be upping the movement cost of any hex a unit had walked over in the same turn ("wait your turn" fashion) - with suitable exceptions for road column out of a full turn's move from the enemy and the like. That is what I mean by an overcoordination issue.

Good points, one way around the sequential chain of melees is to agree to a virtual melee phase, where all melees are executed at once after the player has moved.

Also the scoring differential between calvary & infantry in HPS nap games rules make anything but overrunning skirmishers and routed infantry a losing proposition
