ORIGINAL: meyerg I agree. This is a TRICK, not a feature. After committing the guard you can punish someone proportional to the number of morale left to break your opponent. With this TRICK, after committing the guard, the opponent may still have 3.0+ morale left. Well obviously not the Turk that is left with so much morale. And i doubt it will often be that as committing the guard is inflicting greater morale lose - normally. quote:
Make the person committing the guard lose one full CAV (or equivalent in pursuit losses) for EACH .1 or .2 he is short in breaking the opponent and he will not play this TRICK without consequences. I have seen the Turkish defeat Russian (unconditional peace) and proceed to go after a France that is picking on a pounded Russia. "Only I can pound on Russia!" He jumps France and picks an outflank vs defend. When the mondo outflanking force arrives, Napolean's army is eliminated and Napolean captured (with high die rolls of course). If Napolean had used the LOOPHOLE mentioned above (he pointed it out but had the honor not to use it) on turn 1, we never would have seen the Turks capture Napolean. . Well dont know who was the turkish leader so the possibilty for the turkish leader to success the outflank on turn 2, but it's not so much a loophole as even by committing the guard on turn 1, Napoleon as 1/2 opportunity to win this battle. What will be the best to avoid this farseeing knowledge, is then hidding the opponent choice of chit, force strength, morale and the table that will be used.
