ACW Rules

I'm doing some ACW-Armies (in 3mm). In 'On they came' the measurment for bases is given as 200x100 yards, but I can't find a measurment for 'Crisis of Allegiance (fighting on army-level and 6x6cm bases). It would be nice to have suggestions, for building redoubts, redans etc.

Cheers, Ralf

Found it myself... "400 yards square" for a base oif infantry - but thats not the same as 400 square yards, or is it? That would be too small.

My english is not that good...

Have a look at this site. There are tips on building small scale scenery. I actually use these rules with 3mm figures from Peter Pig and Ozmy Oddziel.


A little goes a long way

Thanks for the tip, really great site!

I'm using Ozmy Oddziel by now, very easy to paint and looking great.

I have read Altar of Freedom and Polemoink I favor the Polemos honestly.  But of course will play both.   I just like a little more meat on the bone sometimes.

Re reading Polemos ACW rules and the only thing that is kind of proving to be hard for me to get a grasp of is how much Tps it would cost to move a group of 4 bases together.  I thought it would just cost the same as moving a single independent base but then later i read it cost 4?    I believe a group moving is the same as a single element TP wise is this correct?

I believe your right but if you can tell me which ACW rule set your looking at and which page numbers your concerned with I'll gladly have a look for you and let you know what I think.

Hi. On They came pg 13 the chart for Tempo Points Per Action states to move a single base or a group of bases costs 1/2 TPS (Tempo/Non Tempo).  There is no limit mentioned for the number of bases.  There is a movement rate reduction if the infantry group is wider than 1 base.  I can't find any mention of the extra cost for 4 bases.
