Those were a lot of fun, but I should have curbed myself a bit.  But, I
still like the tree stunt.

Had the tree not obscured my Pilot's vision, I would have just left it
there for the duration of the game.

I ran through the rules again that night.  We were skipping a lot of AV
modifiers.  What surprise me the most was when I realized that I probably
would have slaughtered the lot of you if we knew them all.  The most
significant were 1. We (at least I) were doing opportunity fire all
wrong.  2. I forgot to account for any of my armor and such for AV.  3.
We (I?) were unaware of the AV bonus for moving targets.

I saw that yesterday about the -2 UR for opportunity fire, that and
you can't have fired on your previous turn, not on the turn you're on
now.

Full speed mounted troops are rather hard to hit.  I would have sent in
several waves of knights attacking your biggest units very early.  It
certainly would have been a much more interesting battle.

It seems that there are penalties for attacking if you're moving, and
also if the unit you're aiming at is moving. -1 per every 6" adds up,
I agree this would have made the battle much different. Having this in
some type of chart would have made it so that we wouldn't have missed
it.

I would like to propose a 1-1 ratio for TL2/3 troops vs TL4/5 troops for
our next meeting.  Somehow, I doubt that anyone will object.

If we do another major cross level TL battle with a castle, I don't
think it would be fair for me to field my hover flyers. After the game
I realized that all I had to do was climb to an altitide of just under
20", hover over the castle and fire away.

(...) I'm not likely to field another keep any time soon. Re-reading the rules Saturday made me realize that my real strength as a TL2/3 army is in my ability to field fairly fast and powerful units (mounted knights) fairly cheaply. For the cost of (...)

(...) Agreed. I know that Mike is planning some. I've already started one. I actually had a simple one at the battle. But, I think I forgot to show it to anyone. I may email Mike and volunteer to do the charts for BW2000. (...) Those were a lot of (...) (25 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.loc.us.oh)
