Quality of troops

[beren]

hi, i´ve just adquired a copy of the avalon hill game (1983), and after the first reading of the rules, it seem to be a great game, but i have an important question, how is it shown the quality of troops? does a SP of the guard fight as a "Marie Louise" recruit???

thanks in advance

There is a troop quality table in the middle of the charts and tables folder. Look at that.

Beren,

I used to have two copies of the old AH edition, but I just recently got rid of them. So we cannot answer questions about the AH edition anymore.

I can tell you where the charts are in the OSG Edition.

There is a four-page pull-out in the Exclusive Rules folder, starting on page 15.

It is labelled "CHARTS & TABLES" and right in the middle of this four pager is a table called the "Attack Effectiveness Table"

If you do not have that then you need to order the "Rules Set" for NAB at our store.

At the end of the rules there are 2 chart and tables pages... but there isn´t an Attack Effectiveness Table :(

OK. Attack Effectiveness is not a part of the game in your edition.

I have The AH version, out in the storage room, with a set of the TSG rules in it. I also bought the OSG version. I'm pretty sure that "troop quality" is one of those changes that make the OSG version a harder "go" for the French.

Yes, sir, I played the first published version of this game down in the basement of my university's student union :cool:. Three coalition players, one who owned the game and Xeroxed the rules, working as a comittee and me trying to do as much damage as possible. Close but no cigar :(.

If you pick up a copy of AH's "War and Peace" you will notice certain similarities to the design. I don't know if Mr. KZ worked on that one, but the 1813 and Spain scenarios were the best :D. Sort of OSG extra light.;)
