Super Blind Adjustment: No Scouting Guns
Posted: Sat Dec 02, 2017 9:10 pm
For the time being, games I host will use a modification of the standing "Super Blind" rules. The adjustments are:
*Guns are now free to use roads from the beginning;
*Guns may not venture forward ahead or to the flank of the army's line without an infantry escort (defined as having a friendly regiment within 50 yards);
*Once guns are legally placed (i.e., with an escort), the infantry is not required to stay with them. Note, however, that to redeploy later to a location ahead or to the flank of the army's line, they'll again need accompanying infantry.
This is an experiment and we'll see how it goes. If implementation generates significant interpretive confusion or dispute, I'll probably go back to straight Super Blind format.
