Special rules:
Morale
Considering some forces have over a hundred models rather than track individual model loss commanders need to track the number of units complete destroyed. Once it reaches its threshold the force starts to take a morale test as normal. Convoys test after 7 units destroyed Garrisons test after 5 units destroyed.
Fortifications:
M&T does not really do fortification which is problem considering there are two forts on the battlefield. Below are rules for handling fortification during the game.
Movement
To move up or down a fortification cost 2” of a figures movement. Models may not attempt to move up a fortification if there is an enemy model on the fortification and within 2” of the model
Shooting
Small arms (muskets, et) rules are covered under the main rules.
Artillery may fire a a 3”x3” section of the rather than the normal 8”x8” section. Models in a section that is hit by artillery counts as being hit as well.
Close combat
Models in contact with the fortification can attack an enemy models within 2”.Models attacking into fortification must re-roll successful hit. Models in fortification can re-roll failed defend rolls from attacks from outside the fortification.
Morale:
Models in fortification get a +2 bonus to morale rolls
Events:
There are four event per rounds.
Two event activate the civilians. Combined with their normal activation and en avant civilians can move up to 15” per turn.
The two other events are randomly and secretly added to the playing.
A summary of the events can be found here
New Officers orders
Rally Boys
When an officer activates using “en avant/forward boys” he can use his action to rally any fleeing units within 6” of him. The fleeing units no longer counts as fleeing and can operate as normal for the rest of the turn.
Martial law
When an officer activates using “en avant/forward boys” he can use his action to activate a civilian unit within 6” of him.
Victory Conditions
Each player gets 2 points in they achieve their primary plot.
Each player gets 1 point if they achieve their subplot
Garrison player gets 1 point for controlling his fort at the end of the game
Convoy player gets 1 point if more than half their civilians are in the fort at the end of the game.
Note: it might be possible for a player to score double for one action eg the Garrison player must defend his fort for his plot. This is okay, the player must real like his job.
