Guns at Gettysburg questions
Hello, I have just bought the rules and have a couple of questions if I may. 1) Chapter 8 Terrain rules say that a unit moves at half speed in difficult terrain. Does this also apply to charge movement? 2) When a charging unit receives fire at the halfway point, does it receive the -2 cover modifier for being in a wood? Thanks, Raphael

R, 1) Chapter 8 Terrain rules say that a unit moves at half speed in difficult terrain. Does this also apply to charge movement? A - Yes. (Hint: One way to get through difficult terrain quickly is to adopt skirmish order and then close up again once within range of the enemy.) 2) When a charging unit receives fire at the halfway point, does it receive the -2 cover modifier for being in a wood? A - Yes. (If the wood is open or with little undergrowth, such as Rose woods at Gettysburg, this will be classed as Light Cover & the cover modifier reduced to -1.) DB

Hi All Remember, only irregular calvary (cossacks etc) may charge into or across difficult terrain and receive no charge modifer. Ceara

Very few cossacks at Gettysberg. Ceara

Very few indeed :wink:

But there could have been a few. Something to do with emigration. Ceara
