Compulsory rule modifications
Deployment and first move. Both sides deploy as specified in the rulebook. Defender takes the first bound.
Distributed ME (but not deployment) for baggage. One to two non-allied baggage contributes its ME to a command, and to the army breakpoint. Allied baggage operates exactly as in the rulebook. Mobile non-allied baggage may be moved with the CinC’s PiPs.
Overhead shooting. To be a valid target for overhead shooting, an enemy element must not be less than a base width beyond any part of an intervening friendly element.
Flank support requires the elements to be grouped. This is the way it is usually played anyway.
Optional rule modifications
Troops classified in the WRG lists as Sh(I) and described as armed with arquebus or caliver or teppo may be chosen as Arq (O) for 5AP. Shoot 100p, outcomes as Sh(O).
Troops classified in the WRG lists as Sh(F) and described as armed with musket may be chosen as Mkt(F) for 6AP. Shoot 200p, outcomes as Sh(F).
Spanish Tercio Arquebusiers currently described as Sh(I), Ottoman Janissaries described as Sh(F), and Russian Streltsi may be chosen as Arq (S) for 7AP. Shoot 100p, outcomes as Sh(S).
