I write that I like it crowded.

Which Rules have Regiments as Units?

For large games is Regiments are the norm or Brigades?

Mictator, "Honours of War" by Osprey use 5 x 4-figure bases = 1 battalion as the basic manoeuvre unit. These are then grouped into Brigades. I think "Twilight of the Soldier  Kings" uses the same sort of  size unit but I think they may call this a Brigade.

Honours of War, Maurice, Shako (7YW), Piquet FOB all have battalions as units.

King of the Battlefield uses regiments (~2 battalions each) as basic units.
Twilight of the Soldier Kings uses brigades (~4 battalions each) as basic units.
And the glorious general led the advance
With a glorious swish of his sword and his lance
And a glorious clank of his tin-plated pants. - Dr. Seuss

There are no limitations on rude words on LAF.


LAF actually does have a profanity filter, but in my testing of it I have only found one word that it blocks. LAF won't let you say c***, if you want to see that I guess you have to go to Frothers. And the famous "Scunthorpe" problem was supposedly fixed years ago by most forum software programs, but it seems nobody told LAF. :)

Hi Andrew.

I’m perplexed by your last comment  ???
There are no limitations on rude words on LAF. You can use the word wanker as much as you please :)

I received a moderator report from you, saying please delete the post in question, as it’s continued presence bothers you - the post concerned was already showing only the single word ‘deleted’ - as edited by yourself.
So, per your request, I removed it.
Has something else been deleted, that you didn’t want to be deleted?

Good day Captain,

You are correct that my deletion re*uest related to the post containing the single word 'deleted', but the following post, which was how the original post was meant to read, has also disappeared. Thus the first instance of the word 'wanker' is frank xerox's *uery.

* for some reason the letter pronounced 'kew' does not work on this keyboard, which seems to have been designed by a wanker.

Piquet's Cartouche rules are specifically for the 1695-1790 but with tweaks for each narrower period within that.  They include a "Regimental" scale game where each unit represents 960-1440 men or 640-960 cavalry, so a large Regiment or small brigade.
