House rules
Large Units
Large units cost 2 additional points and have 4 additional. The units do not gain additional shooting
or combat dice but are +2 to the their morale rolls whilst they are still above half strength. Very
Large units add a further 4 models for further point and are +3 to morale rolls whilst above half
strength. Only those units specified in the unit profiles may be Large or Very Large.
Unit additions
Units may be upgraded by inclusion of the following Special Models for 1 point:
Officer allowing a single re-roll of any morale or activation test by the unit;
Musician adding 1 to movement action rolls;
Banner adding 2 to morale test rolls to Rally from being Battered (but not other morale tests).
At the Run (Moving the same unit twice)
Instead of selecting another unit after a successful movement activation you may again select the
same unit to attempt to make another movement action. If unsuccessful play is turned over as usual.
If successful the unit takes a morale test at the end of its 2nd move.
Foot Moving through Rough Ground
Foot units move their normal distance on the turn they enter Rough Ground but if any figure starts
the turn in Rough ground the movement of all models is halved.
Double Six
If double six is rolled for an action the player may immediately attempt to re activate the same unit
after it has finished its activation (turning over as usual on a failure).
Firearms
The relative efficiency of a unit with its weapons is included in the unit profiles. Muskets, Rifles and
Carbines are -1 to hit if over half their maximum range.
Skirmishers may Move through any friendly units.
Ferocious Charge and Rough Ground
Mounted units subject to Ferocious Charge are not obliged to make same if the target will be in
rough ground.
Mounting and dismounting
Cavalry units may dismount or mount using a Move order but rolling at -2.
Fighting in buildings
Buildings count as Rough Ground. All units hit on a 5+, attackers count normal armour and defenders
count armour +1 unless the attacker has the Assault Troops special rule.

Character models
The Commander is a separate model but must always be attached to a unit. In addition to rolling for
his character he may add +1 or -1 to the action roll of the unit to which he is attached. You may also
pay 1 point each for up to 3 re rolls he can use on sets of dice rolled in respect to units within 12of
his model
He may move from unit to unit (within 12 only) before rolls for Battered units are made.
Other characters may be purchased as follows for the points noted below (Firebrands, Tacticians and
Icons may also transfer between units within 12 at the start of the players turn):
Firebrand +1 to Attack action rolls and re roll one failed hit in combat (2 points).
Tactician + 1 to Move action rolls and add 2 to movement. Failure by the unit he is attached to
does not cause a turnover (2 points).
Icon (or Army Standard) +1 to unit morale rolls and a unit that passes a Rally test may be
activated as normal in the same turn (2 Points).
Pigeon placed with enemy unit adding d3 victory points if the enemy unit is routed or destroyed
in close combat (1 point).
Characters do not add combat dice to a unit but do temporarily increase its remaining numbers
whilst they are attached. No more than two characters may accompany a unit.
The Commander may be upgraded by carrying a standard which increases his morale range to 18 if
the relevant unit can see his model (1 point) and to have up to 3 Re-rolls available to use on any dice
rolled on behalf of a unit or character within his morale range for 1 point each.

Drilled Units may use Close Order

Entering Close order requires a move action.
Units in Close Order:
1. Must be placed in even ranks (at least two) and files touching at least two other models if possible;
2. Have a Front (in front of a line drawn along the front of their first rank of models) and may not Shoot or
Attack enemy unless part of the target is in front of that line.
3. In Column and Square formation are easier to hit when shot at so enemy rolls are +1;
4. Are harder to hit when charged from their front (enemy Leader starts to their front) so enemy rolls are -1;
5. Lose the -1 to be hit and themselves are -1 to hit when charged by an enemy unit whose leaders stats
behind their front line;
6. If there is a friendly Un-Battered unit also in Close Order within 6 the unit is +1 to morale rolls; and
7. May use Volley Fire at up to half Range. The target is -1 to hit but if it takes any hits (regardless of whether
a model is removed) it takes a morale test with a further temporary -1.
Formations must be one of:
Line no more than two ranks deep and at least 7 models - +1 to Shoot actions, -1 to Move
actions;
March Column two models wide and at least 5 models +2 to Move actions, -2 to Attack
actions and may not Shoot (if allowed by special rules it may skirmish but of course loses its
formation);
Attack Column at least 3 models wide and 3 full ranks of models deep - +1 to Attack and Move
actions, 1 to Shoot actions (half dice only) and +1 to Morale; or
Square placed facing four sides and having 4 front lines but only shooting from one per turn
with half its dice, -2 to Move or Attack actions, further +1 Armour in combat and +1 morale.
Formations are changed using a Move activation in which models may not move more than 3 if on
foot or 6 if mounted.
