Batalionmasse
Units with Batalionmasse rule and in column who are within 12” of enemy
cavalry are considered in Batalionmasse. When in Batalionmasse (in column
and within 12”” of enemy cavalry) the following rules apply:
• Battalion always makes a favorable roll to form square, representing
the ease with which the soldiers of the battalion face outward to form
a solid square.
• When targeted by artillery, the artillery re-roll misses, representing the
denseness of the formation and its susceptibility to shot, shell and canister.
• May only move up to 4” because of lack of flexibility that more open
formations while on the move.
Battle Cavalry
Any unit combating with the front of a Battle Cavalry unit must repeat
successful throws unless it itself is considered Battle Cavalry.
Bestanding
(Steady) – Force containing units with this characteristic are not consider
EXHAUSTED until they lose more than half of the units that compose the
force.
Cavalry Battery
Cavalry batteries move at the 12” rate, just like cavalry, but only get two
actions in each turn. And do not forget that they do not re-rolls failed DT for
complex movement (they are not horse artillery).
Grosse Batalion
Grosse Batalions always have favorable rolls when doing saving throws.
Heavy Artillery
A heavy artillery battery throws an additional firing dice for each result of
6 rolled when firing. Further results of 6 in the second or consequent rolls
permit additional throws.
Jägers
Units with this special rule eliminate an enemy General at 6” or less with a
roll for casualties of Generals of 10+ instead of 11+ for 2D6.
Lancers
With each result of 6 in combat rolls, Lancers eliminate two bases instead
of one.
Light Artillery
12” Range.
Light Cavalry
Light Cavalry units may evade charges from any other units.
Light Infantry
Light Infantry units can deploy part of their bases as skirmishers. To do
this, a Light Infantry unit can generate up to two skirmisher bases before
deployment, and attach them to the different infantry units within the army,
as long as the units to which they are attached do not have more skirmishers
than close order bases.
A Light Infantry unit which deploys some of its soldiers as skirmishers
becomes Understrength if it was previously of normal size, and normal if
it was previously Overstrength. Light Infantry may not deploy skirmishers
if it is Understrength.
Overstrength
Units with this characteristic may recover all close order bases eliminated
during the battle. They can also repeat failed saving rolls as long as they
have all their close order bases on the table.
Vertieigen Sie den Rand!
(Defend the Border!) Grenzers are treated as Light Infantry for fighting in
terrain, but they cannot deploy skirmisher bases to other units. All Elan tests
are favorable if the Grenzers are in any terrain other than open.
