Napoleonic Game Format Poll

[Sgt_Rock]

Is there any reason why the Nappy games can't steal a trick from PzC and have regiments that can break down into squadrons?

I thought of that at one point - you know, have the higher org the regiment and then allow the unit to break down into individual squadron units.

The problem is that John Tiller would have to totally recode the OB format. Just a bit too much to ask him to do.

The ACW series could use this with the different batteries but alas even in the Panzer series you cannot mix and match the different weapons in the same ORG unit. Thus a Pzkw IV Unit cannot contain Pzkw IIIs.

Either way you do it there are oddities to the system. With a squadron based system too many units to push around. With a regiment system unhistorical breakdown.

One big advantage to the squadron system is that the fatigue accrual for the unit is normal. I think that for the breakdown squadrons from a regiment that that they accrue fatigue faster.

Actually some are pointing out that the squadrons usually get wiped out LONG before max fatigue ever comes close to happening.

One thing I would like to play around with is lowering the Max fatigue value from 900 to say 600. That would stop some folks from just tossing their units away as the unit would probably rout long before it can become obliterated.
