Baggage units in Lasalle: An optional rule

After revision in the Lasalle Forum

(1) Baggage units are formed by one or more wagon train models
(2) They are irregular units
(3) They can move only in march column by road at limbered Foot Artillery speed (reduced or not as indicated in the scenario)
(4) They can not fire nor fight
(5) They are automatically broken (plundered or destroyed) during Combat with an enemy unit. The winning enemy unit always takes 1 DISR

I'll try this optional rule in the Düben Scenario.

  1. Nice baggage train! I could really see something like this trundling along some road, maybe trying to whip up the horses or some wagon losing a wheel or tipping over from trying to go too fast.
    (or have I just seen too many movies? ha ha)

  2. I have seen the same movie than you!
    Hordes of Cossacks falling over those ponderous baggons....
    I played once the relief of Danzing and it was a fun affaire

  3. Nice wagon train Rafa - I like the field forge!! Those wagons better not break down near the Bavarians or they might just loose a load or two!

    Cheers,

  4. Hi Doc
    Some of the wagons reached Danzig in this game, but other were plundered by the Russians!
