STRATEGY

  • line infantry are the basic regular infantry, and as the name implies,make up the bulk of the line. Generally speaking, they are staunch defenders, firing well from standing, and are best utilised defending terrain like buildings, hills or forest.
  • in attack, Line are slow unless you can cross the range from 3 hexes to 1 using commands like Bayonet Charge or Forced March. The French excel at this melee approach, whilst the Austrians cannot. The remainder are essentially equivalent. Line hit on sabers in Close Combat.
  • Line infantry are the most diverse of C&C Napoleonics units, each nation has a quirk.

Thanks for a swift reply! Some copy-paste slips seem to remain. I can read "half blocks, round up" just between the two tables and, for some reason, the newly added Russian rule is written in bold type which may lead new players into thinking that something is special with the Russians.

Looking under Fire Moving, what is the reason for not listing the rules for Russian LN?
