For the game on June 3rd there will be some changes to the "Wars of the Jumbled Alliances".
After discussions and listening to concerns from several members Jim and I have decided to give this a try. These changes are being made in an attempt to bring our force selections more in line with the historical record for each nation. As players have collected larger collections of figures the games have be come more min/maxed which was not the plan for the Wars of the Jumbled Alliance.
Each player may choose 2 Brigades. One or both of these brigades maybe either cavalry or infantry. For Austrian, Russian and Swedish armies one of these brigades may be a Light brigade*. Out of the total brigades on a side 50% must be Infantry.
A light brigade which was used by the Austrians, Russian and Swedish armies during the Seven Years' War is a organization of both Cavalry and usually Light Infantry. Units in a light brigade are not considering self-ordering. Light Brigades are not considered either cavalry or infantry for force choices.
In addition each player may choose a light unit or units depending on thier brigade selections. If the player has one or more Cavalry Brigades they may choose 1 unit of light cavalry (10 stands) or 2 units of light infantry (6 stands each). If a player has two Infantry Brigades they may also take 2 units of light infantry (6 stands each), including grenzer, jagers, light and volunteers. Players with two brigades of infantry may not choose a light cavalry unit.
For each Infantry Brigade on a side, the side may add 1 Heavy Artillery Figure assigned in a batteries of no more than 3 figures. Each Battery must be assigned to a player with at least one Infantry Brigade.
For armies with Horse Batteries or equivalanet. Prussian Army the maximum of one battery with 3 figures may be attached to a Heavy Cavalry Brigade, minimum two cuirassiers regiments. For the Russian one battery of 2 figures may be assigned to each New Cuirassier or Dragoon Cavalry Brigade. Rules for cossack artillery have not been created.
Hussar Regiments with more than 5 squadrons (11 or more stands) must be assigned to a Cavalry Brigade replacing either a Dragoon or Cuirrassier Regiment. Prussian Cavalry brigades may have two Hussar Regiments all other the maximum is one hussar regiment. Maximum of one Brigade may be swaped.
Frei and French Light Battalions may be formed, (3 wide and 2 deep) and recieve a +1 to ther Morale while formed. This does not apply to FreiKorps, Jagers or Grenzers.
Please note British Scots battalions, both High and Lowland, are considered formed infantry in Koenig Krieg even though they are titled and called Light Infantry.
Prussian FreiKorps are not currently represented in our Koenig Krieg games as we do not have a concesus on how these small units should be represented.
