Hi, we are talking about taking or not some rules that we could apply to the game, these home rules will tend to have a more accurate game.
There are two kind of thing:
1st, some little points to apply, here they are:
Infantry:
Infantry units can't move less than 2 hexs of a cavalry unit with at least 2xx men or more except if:
1) They are in square formation,
2) A leader of their formation (or higher) is with the unit. This leader must stay with the unit so long as it stay 2 hexs or less from cavalry.
If cavalry is 1xx men, the rule don't apply.
If infantry unit is surrounded, this rule didn't apply, in this case, the unit can do all in order to break the line.
Skirmisher:
1) Skirmishers can move in clear/field only if a formed unit is within 2 hexs,
2) Light/guards units must keep 250 men in a formed unit, they can't be entirely deployed in skirmisher, except for french units,
3) It is prohibited to fire (infantry/artillery) across your own skirmisher except if they are at a lower elevation from the firer or the target.
Artillery:
1) Artillery can't be deployed in castle.
2nd, a modification of the game turn:
We are playing turn (phase is too loong for PBEM) but with respect to a "home sequence":
1) You move/charge/make fire with every unit you wish
2) You make all your melee attacks, as soon as you begin melle, you have to resolve all
3) You move/fire units that didn't be used in point 1 and 2
It seem to make a turn more complicated but it allow a battle with respect to history...
