Uh, guys. I just realized
that last night we forgot we were fighting in a forest! That means the
casualty level should have been reduced by 1, and the outflanking force should
have had a -1 modifier. I'm not sure how we should handle this. On
the one hand, I'm inclined to say that since all of us who were present forgot
about it, we should just chalk it up to experience. On the other hand,
keeping last night's result is somewhat unfair to Austria since things turned
out so poorly for Everett. So here's a compromise that I'm willing to
accept. As far as the first round of combat is concerned, it will be easy
enough to figure out what the losses should have been, given our rolls (France
rolled a modified 4, and Austria rolled a modified 3.) I rolled for
Napoleon to arrive, so that should still stand. However, I did *not* roll
for the outflanking force to arrive because I thought it would be
automatic. Because of the forest, though, it should have been a roll of 5
or less. Since my next two rolls in the combat were 5 and 3, I would like
to assume that my outflanking force would have arrived in the second
round. So if you are willing to accept that my outflanking force arrived
in the second round, I am willing to reroll the 2nd (and, if necessary, the 3rd)
round of combat. Doing so will almost certainly result in much fewer
casualties for Austria, so I think this is a
very reasonable compromise. Let me know if you disagree.
