Rather than have our current flags with order type on for TCHAE I am looking at bases. Suggestions please building on below
ATTACK - Charging men (ACW1 or 2) OR Command Advancing (ACW14): On Triangular base
MANOEUVER - Marching on Square base
HOLD ????
ENGAGE - Firing on strip base with 3 points (like saw teeth, or 'row of houses')
Each base will be labelled along the back
In addition status markers
Fightin' - I am using a dead man on a penny
Defeated - Stretcher bearers, mounted on 2p
Rout - ????
Pursuit (of routers) ???? [
Disordered - Jiggle the bases?
Surprised ????
HOLD : May be a trapezoidal, with a small line firing ?
Based on our last game:
ATTACK - Dead men on Triangular base
MANOEUVER - Dead men on Square base
HOLD - Dead men on a round base
ENGAGE - Dead men on strip base with 3 points (like saw teeth, or 'row of houses')
:d :d
How about:
HOLD - kneeling figure. There are some in the foot firing packs
ROUT - ???? - can you remove the weapons from figures in the advancing packs?
PURSUIT (of routers) - an enthusiastic advancing Command figure. The Confederates look good but the Union are not quite so enthusiastic
SURPRISED - I'd go for some of the artillery crew. In the artillery firing packs there are some covering one ear and look like they are cowering a bit (remove the pole) or in the artillery aiming packs there are figures peering which could be looking surprised.
Excuse my ignorance but what is TCHAE?
It stands for "They couldnt hit an elephant" an ACW ruleset by Two Fat Lardies
