Some of our kriegsspiel group has been playing some small MP games against the AI using couriers, and the lowest visibility settings. Martin
Martin James, sorry but what do you mean by "lowest visibility settings"?
Also would you know where i could find what a British infantry uniform looked like in 1863. i cant seem to find them anywhere. :pinch:
*S*
I think he means HITS.
Yes I do mean HITS. In general we try & play with just the information & limitations that the real generals had. So all long march orders are given by courier for example. Also all communications between players, unless they are together, in which case they can chat using a comms programme. Based on advice here, we have started to use Teamspeak 3 for this.
When we are ordering tactical moves by brigades or regiments very close to us, we do use the toolbar buttons. But with the historical game setting, that does mean that a courier still needs to physically reach the target unit, and that does not always happen if the troops are under fire of course.
For British army uniforms c1862, suggest you try googling the 2nd China (or Opium) War 1856-60, and the 3rd Maori War 1863-66. See also the discussion here which does include a photo of an 1863 tunic among other things. Hope that helps.
