Troop Types

To alter a set of rules written for the American Civil War to be suitable for Napoleonics, a number of changes need to be made.  The first and most obvious is the range of troop types available.  All of what follows (in terms of actual modifiers, move distances etc.) can be found on the Quick Reference Card.  This post sets out the thinking behind the rules - the justification and reasoning, to give y'all something to take issue with.

Foundations

I wrote a few weeks ago that I would expand, in due course, on the Throne & Altar rules, and I want to do that in a couple of steps.  I have already said that the rules are based on Greg Wagman's Altar of Freedom.  First, I want to give an overview of those rules, and then I will go on to set out what changes I have made to make them suit Napoleonics rather than ACW.
