Players drawing a special take a special card from a separate specials deck for his side. We used to use them to include weird coincidences or other freak occurences from real battles without a specific special rule.Conrad Kinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683395740934527502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991803860372006625.post-59563129899471988782010-10-03T20:59:49.168+01:002010-10-03T20:59:49.168+01:00hmm, I've gotten rid of a lot of rules in the ...hmm, I've gotten rid of a lot of rules in the last few years but a quick check of likely candidates amongst remaining ones has turned up various sets that address fatigue due to forced marches to the battlefield but the closest to considering sleep would be Dave Millward's Musketeer which has a campaign modifier which has a plus for "well-rested" troops but no penalty for exceptionally tired ones.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991803860372006625.post-46362799965314229982010-10-03T20:36:49.693+01:002010-10-03T20:36:49.693+01:00Best of luck with the mortage and a loud "Huz...Best of luck with the mortage and a loud "Huzzah!" upon the finishing of the dissertation!<br />Alantradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-991803860372006625.post-9421395860646826152010-10-03T20:04:52.778+01:002010-10-03T20:04:52.778+01:00Conrad Kinch,

Just 'cause I have played a few games using a SLIGHTLY modified version of 'Battle Cry' that I MIGHT JUST have tinkered with A COUPLE OF TIMES, you have made me sound like some sort of monster. Shame on you!<br /><br />Rant over; I am glad to hear that your dissertation is finished and ready for binding, but sorry to hear about the problems with your mortgage. From what I hear on the news, the Irish economy seems to be mortgaged itself in order to prop up the Anglo-Irish Bank. It is just a great pity that you seem to be caught in the ‘collateral damage’ that has resulted. I hope that you have good news soon.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.com
