Wish list (1)

[Eckerslyke]

. . .
What I do is use the formation highlighting toggle while I'm playing my turn. That way the parent formation's battalions are easily identifiable as I move. If I inadvertently move farther than 3 hexes, I refrain from offensive shooting or melee with that skirmisher till it is back within 3 hexes.

Good idea, makes it a bit less of a chore. Probably a good idea to acknowledge the mistake to the opponent as well, if it doesn't give away too much, just to keep the air clear.

Thanks for the suggestion, but my wishlist allows me to be lazy, and therefore to wish for something that would remove the drudgery and embarrassment altogether! Whilst still keeping our movement realistic in a historical sense.

No much you can do about deliberate cheating other than not playing that individual again.

Yes, true. When I think of my idea of a good battling relationship, it is when you find an opponent with whom you can fight a scenario one way, come to a conclusion, then fight the same battle taking the other side, turn about.

That won't happen if either battler suspects the other of dishonorable conduct, so when I'm considering taking on a potential new opponent I look over his record, and if I see too many entries where a single battle with one member has resulted in a major win for the potential opponent (which could have been the member deciding not to continue through distaste for the opponent's 'sharp practices'), and without further engagements between the member and that potential new opponent, I confess that I become a bit wary.
