YAY!Frederickson said:We will be there.
Sgt.Feldsau said:- Skirmisher rules are: You may spread out in a line. You have to crouch and shoot in a formation. The maximum of space between every single soldiers is 2-3 soldiers. The skirmishers have to take another uniform (14th Brooklyn, 11th New York, Lousiana Fire Zouaves) as the rest of their infantry unit.
- Pure skirmisher regiments may fully play as skirmishers but have a limit of 10 people.
- "Normal" Lineinfantry may not take skirmisher uniforms (14th Brooklyn, 11th New York, Lousiana Fire Zouaves) anymore.
It does not give permission to skirmish in an open field.Sgt.Feldsau said:- A regiment has to stay in a line at open field but the soldiers may crouch
- A regiment may take cover behind fences, sandbags etc., lines may split up in forests and skirmish behind the trees
- If a regiment has only three or less soldiers left, it has to join another line
- Regiments may take as many sappers with them and built as much as they want to. But this not meant to spam the whole area with constructions the sappers just may built usefull things for their team
Sgt.Feldsau said:Yeah you´re right Frederickson in both points. The problem is that there is a big issue within the community about rules. Because there are also linebattles which allow regiments to stay in skirmish formation because it´s "more realistic". However imo this is **** but those people who use to play with these rules don´t stick to the different saturday linebattle rules. The problem about last saturdays linebattle was that I wan´t around, so I couldn´t make anybody stick to the rules. However when I´m there to admin the lb, I use to tell people if they´re doing wrong.
So again to everybody who would like to come to the linebattle (this also includes Union Army regimental leaders): Read the rules and stick to them!
Also about the sapper thing: You´re right. I´m thinking about changing this rules for a long time. I hate to see people building bunkers and to tell them every single linebattle to stop that. Sometimes people spam explosive crates or just troll with the sappers. That´s not the way they´re made for and also these annoying fortification is something I don´t like. But I don´t know how to stop that. Because if I forbid the sappers people will get annoyed and something important is missing imo. So maybe lowing the building points to 80 or something like that could be a good option. If anybody has an idea to that pls. tell me.
Oh and one minor point. This is not the linebattle of union army but mine. Some people confuse that but in the end I am responsible for everything happening during the linebattle. Just to make that clear
