GENERAL D’ARMEE 2 BOOTCAMP
Рет қаралды 4,412
5 ай бұрынWelcome to part 1 of a series of General d’Armee ‘Bootcamp’ videos where we take a close look at the various phases and mechanisms in GdA2. I will be using a scenario out of the first volume of Napoleonic Scenarios for General de Brigade, CRAONNE 1814 as the vehicle to examine the phases and mechanics of GdA2. In this video we look at setting up a CORPS LEVEL game including the use of Corps Orders and Adjutants, determining the quality of our Corps, Division and Brigade Commanders, examining Command and determining which side has the Initiative. Special thanks to Battlefield Accessories for sponsoring this series. Check out their excellent products at the link below.

The conversation from GbB to GdA2 is as follows:
So there are six basic grades in GDB :
Guard,Elite,Veteran,Line, 2ndLine and Conscript.
I believe that :
GdB GUARD = GdA2 ELITE
GdB ELITE = GdA2 VETERAN
GdB VETERAN = GdA2 GRENADIER
GdB LINE = GdA2 LINE
GdB Second LINE = GdA2 RESERVIST
GdB Conscript = GdA2 RECRUIT
UNIT SIZE CONVERSIONS
Infantry Units:
GdB Figures = GdA unit size.
Less than 24 = Small
24 to 36 = Standard
37+ = Large
Cavalry Units:
12 or less = Small
14- 24 = Standard
25 or More = Large
ARTILLERY (still working on this):
2-3 Guns is a Standard Battery
4+ Large Battery (usually Russian)

Thanks again for doing these. Very handy to go back and listen to several times to keep the rules fresh in my mind while I paint more battalions!

I’m just about to upload a ‘wash-up’ of the Bootcamp addressing any errors I made.

This is great Scott , I received my hard copy of the rules today but it is so much easier to be shown how to, rather than read how to. looking forward to the next vid. Cheers.

Right in at the deep end: the corps-level game seems quite complicated! I’m currently setting up a divisional game and am struggling with all the subtle tweaks made since GDA1. For a ‘streamlined’ set of rules, it certainly has plenty of add-on complications (not a bad thing: will just take a little getting used to).😊

Outstanding. I'd love to upload a video to cover all the mistakes I made in my first game of GDA2, but i think it would be 12 hours long 😂

This one’s about 30 mins but there’s other stuff also
@basement1908 3 ай бұрын
That seems about right. Your errors were exponentially less than mine. Thanks in advance for doing the "correction" video 👍

Double check 3.7 Corps Initiave Procedure. At Corps level games only add die to Initiative for Divisions with 2+ Hesitant. So the Russo-Prussians would have only rolled 3 dice and not 5.

Already picked that up,.. as you will see in Part2 (if you watch it)

Double check the Bold Brigadiers. I have 2D6 and use highest score for 1 or 0 taskings not a reroll as done at 34.00
@CheckYourLeaderTV 4 ай бұрын
@@matthewwheelden9263 it’s awkwardly written I think. I’ve interpreted to be as follows: I can roll a die, get a 2 and then reroll it OR roll two dice simultaneously. If he has 0-1 tasking he gets a free ‘second chance’ so to speak. So if the Bold Brigadier has 0 or 1 tasking it’s essentially a ‘re-roll’ if he has 2 or more tasking he rolls just 1 Die or will need an ADC with the Brigade Attachment tasking. I’ll seek clarification.

I sent the following to DCRB AND GOT THE FOLLOWING reply: “ Hi David (again). I’m slightly confused on how Bold Brigs roll to activate. My understanding is as follows: 1) if using 0-1 taskings they roll 2 D6 and chose the higher (which to me is the same as having a re-roll). If they have 2 or more Bde taskings they simply roll 1 D6 (no reroll) and thus would need a Brigade Attachment. OR. 2) if using 0-1 Taskings they roll 2 D6 and chose the higher, and if both are 1 or 2 THEN get a reroll but If they have 2 or more Bde taskings they simply roll 1 D6 and if they score a 1-2 THEN get a reroll”? DCRB REPLY: “the first one”.
