New Expansion Pack/Mod for JTS Campaign Waterloo

[Hans_Boersma]

"The British fought predominantly defensive, in line. Their 2-rank (2-deep) line formations brought more guns to bear and were thus spending more ammunition; they also fired faster."

Until wargame designer's can unwrap their heads from propaganda and our pulp fiction historian's regurgitation of that nonsense there will not be a good Napoleonic wargame involving French and British forces. Even if corrected for a 3-rank ordre mince having obviously more firepower than the British line's over extension, the map in Campaign Waterloo is an atrocity. You put alot of effort into this and I hope it gets played.

I've re-read the chapter British Tactics in Practice (1809-1815) from Nosworthy's Battle Tactics etc., and you're right. In fact by 1815 the Brits fired less, not more. I had remembered only part of his analysis. I will make adjustments, thanks. I also realise I may have been too forthcoming with ammo wagons. Regarding the map, a section about that will follow.
