I stand by the statement that they were not used in the Napoleonic way in the early- to mid-18th century. There is no guarantee of tactics of one war carrying over to another, especially as there is no reference to their employment.bbenge wrote:I guess that what I'm trying to say is that while skirmishing became formalised with proper training in the napoloeinic period it was not unknown before then. Skirmishers existed in the Seven Years War in North America and even in Europe (such as the croats) where the British were experimenting with light infantry. I suspect some of that experiance woul've carried over to the AWI.
It will be difficult to write a skirmishing rule generic enough to cover all periods. This is one of the downsides of the Core rules concept. In any case, this discussion should be taken up in another forum.Cheers,GregoryOne thing I can add here is that particular changes to Skirmishing can be made in the different Data Books that will be added after the Historical Battlines Core Rule Book is released. The intent is to get a general skirmishing rule in the book then any changes/variances to the rule can be published in the particular era covered by the book. The other choice is to hold of on this and put a different skirmishing rule in each Data Book. The Data Books that are going to be covered will be; AWI, Napoleonics, 1812, Texas War for Independence, Mexican/American War and Civil War. This is not an all inclusive list either, just what we have done and, in the case of Napoleonics, were going to do.
