I have been thinking along the lines of indicating a unit's condition by altering the relative positions and/or removing separate individual figures portraying an officer, colour bearer, sergeant and musician. These figures would thus be both aesthetically pleasing and convey information to the players.<br />As for modifiers, the fewer the better. One solution might be to have the usual lists but rule that where several factors applied, only the two most significant (ie largest +/- number) should be applied. Alternatively, something along these lines:<br />1-2 negative factors: slight disadvantage -1<br />3-5 negative factors: disadvantage -2<br />5+ negative factors: severe disadvantage -3<br />and similarly for positive factors.arthur1815https://www.blogger.com/profile/12333670394529977263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8386295610733468492.post-44221709026457144642013-03-29T16:36:09.582+01:002013-03-29T16:36:09.582+01:00OK we're in synch...
