Our house rules use brigade bases for manoeuvre, with combats fought out at battalion\/squadron level, designed for actions of corps\/army size using several thousand figures – but capable of being completed in a single day of gaming.\u00a0 The combat phase rolls up the combat outcome into a single dice roll representing the outcome of both firing and melee.\u00a0 The focus in the game is on command and control and effective use of reserves.<\/div>\n
