Yes OTH has a really interesting mech...Thanks Bill.<br />Yes OTH has a really interesting mechanism using a fatigue score to rate a units ability and stamina, so an average battalion of 600 men would potentially rate an FS of 7 or 8 depending on its quality.<br />If you have four such battalions in a brigade, the brigade break point is half of 4 x 7 plus one, that would be 15 points, Fatigue is caused by combat and certain types of movement. This fatigue can be rallied off of units but not off the brigade, division or army. <br />So if you keep the record cards out of site an opponent could guess the likely break point of any given brigade and have an idea of the damage caused over time but not be totally sure of exactly how bad it was. This really adds to the simulation and fun of the game.<br />The table is a ping-pong table that my son Tom helped me turn into a purpose built table giving it a frame within a frame that locks the mat down over the styrene underlay that creates the hills and allows me to pin stuff down on the mat.<br />It is a real asset that once built I have been determined to get lots of games done on it.carojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-17209191735032116692017-11-08T08:51:27.785-08:002017-11-08T08:51:27.785-08:00Thank you, that's great to hear.

It's interesting that you don't really know the state of your opponent's forces - is there some mechanic to give you a clue or are you really completely blind to their condition?<br />Really nice table too - love the fold out shelves used for record keeping - so elegant compared to my masonite and packing tape cobbled together affairs!Bill Slavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05056237500818603134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-89572033439440942562017-11-07T09:10:56.462-08:002017-11-07T09:10:56.462-08:00love reading up on these big battles....provides i...love reading up on these big battles....provides inspiration for me!Colbournehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225603671246908286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-71116962917399028342017-11-05T05:25:29.814-08:002017-11-05T05:25:29.814-08:00Thanks Phil, nothing quite like mass Napoleonics.Thanks Phil, nothing quite like mass Napoleonics.carojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-20581320204436886862017-11-05T02:41:15.683-08:002017-11-05T02:41:15.683-08:00Looks awesome, most impressive mass effect...a gre...Looks awesome, most impressive mass effect...a great looking game!Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08913029478686087197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-74797105832564852132017-10-31T02:02:03.501-07:002017-10-31T02:02:03.501-07:00Thanks for your comments chaps.
