Outrolled by 3 gives a net 0 result which is a D result for both sides. Waagner's strength marker goes to the disorganized side and they get a fatigue level 3 marker. F. Lee also goes to the disorganized side and its fatigue level goes from 3 to 4 and that brigade is essentially out of commission. |

Request: 6-sided die x 2 3 6 Message from Confederate: F. Lee stays organized and moves 1 to 4323 and then spends 4 more movement points to conduct a normal march attack against Waagner. 1st roll: attacking Confederates with +1 for Flank attack modifier (which seems low for this situation as all 6 surrounding hexes are in enemy ZOC and have no friendly units), -1 for artillery modifier (rolling terrain with 0 net artillery), +1 for ratio modifier (2 to 1 odds), +2 for tactical modifier (Stuart's 3 vs Waagner's 1) +0 for a normal march attack gives a net of +3 for the attackers. 2nd roll: defending Waagner regiment with no adds. |

Looking through both 1.4 and 1.5 rules, I get: 6 covered hexes so bonus starts at +4 and can be reduced to +1. 2 rivers and a woods to do the reductions so -3 to take the bonus down to +1 as you calculated. I will assume that this is not an error as 1.4 rules and 1.5 ones align. What the rules are saying in terms of bonus is that Lee attacks Wagner and gets a +1 for 2VA exerting a ZOC on Union Mills. |
| 32 | 11/15/2023 2:31:00 AM | Turn 2 | Union | Message |
I'll look through this carefully later as I find aspects of the current rules hard to get my head around. My general thoughts: the original rules were clearer and I can't find any errata for them. I'm happy to play with them if you want. The system has undergone a SL to ASL shift as refinements were added in and specific rules and modifiers added for different campaigns. |
| 31 | 11/14/2023 9:47:00 PM | Turn 2 | Confederate | Message |
I keep reading and rereading the rules. If the F Lee cavalry moves to 4323 to attack Waagner there are 6 of the 6 hexes covered for the basic flank attack bonus giving +4. However, 2 of the 6 are river hexes meeting final flank bonus 3d and one is a woods hex 4423 meeting 2b (having a woods hexside without a road) giving a total flank attack bonus reduction of -3 for a net flank attack of just +1. It doesn't make sense to me to reduce the flank attack modifier for a river that is unfordable and unbridged and especially for one such as 4421 that is in an enemy ZOC (2 VA cavalry's ZOC). Am I missing something on this? These 1.5 rules are a lot different from the flank attack rules in the original SJW rule book and I think they have left out exceptions to enemy ZOC. |

According to the latest rules, AP Hill, Ewell and Taliafero start at fatigue level 1 but they are on their exhausted side. The original rules did not have their flipped sides as exhausted and had them at fatigue level 2. I will still not march these units as that would be risking an extended march and could cause disorganization since they are exhausted. That's all that I will do for turn 1. Next is the recovery phase and I'll work on that later today. |
