If both fail one could conceive it as a mutual 'cease fire' or combat petering out. Probably one army would withdraw and the other would stay to lick its wounds. Certainly as players we were happy that are armies were too fragile to continue, unless we wanted to beat one another to 'death', so the results delivered by serendipity were abut right!<br />* In a simple set of rules, the roll is solely based on army losses, with the chance of success (avoiding withdrawal) declining as losses increase.James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-19278905122338078532019-04-05T11:33:44.421+08:002019-04-05T11:33:44.421+08:00Yeah, les guerres en dentelles look pretty good, d...Yeah, les guerres en dentelles look pretty good, don't they Peter?<br />(Almost as good as Napoleonics, haha!!)James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8493556920707083758.post-55659327625959886562019-04-04T18:06:25.013+08:002019-04-04T18:06:25.013+08:00Game looks good, James!
