RE: Confused on game mechanics
Sorry - just weighing in on this one, Bill. First, hope you enjoy the games. While there are still some things about the series we would love to see changed its a fun series to play! Still getting lots of play after all of these years.
Yes, I usually go for 2:1 odds in any melee in the series. After playing the series for many many years and designing for John Tiller I just found out about the skirmisher facing - negate bonus - thing myself. Wishing it was not like that but anyway ....
I played Empire III miniatures for years and like you and many others it took some getting used to that a Guard infantry unit attacking a militia unit on the flank was not always an instant win. In Empire III that would have been a total blowout for the defender.
Glad that the guys here helped you out. Jim Pfleucke is one of my long time playtesters and am glad that he added in his wisdom on the skirmishers.
I am still learning things about this system after having played it since the days of Talonsoft Battleground ...
