If the Lord Spares Us (ITLSU) Too Fat Lardies

Thanks Paul

So actively spotting blinds in the open is important - and I suppose if you make the table a bit too small then this means blinds can cover a lot of distance very quickly.

Thanks for the correction on cover - we did play it that way, I've misremembered when typing up. The surprising bit, is there is no further bonus for being in a trench, than being in a wood, for example

Good idea about allowing troops to fall back to the sides, if they can stay in cover. In our game the trenches were small sections not continuous lines.

Another option when in a trench and being attacked is to reserve fire, see 9.10 interdiction fire

This lets you wait until the enemy is at dead close which will double your hits and you will be firing against the troops actually trying to assault

A good suggestion

The defenders had so many targets they where busy shooting when activated
