I am so very confused with the rules in this game. I'm only at page 9 - Combat Modifiers.
The first section of those rules are about halving attack values and doubling defense values and rounding up. First off, the only part up to this point in the rules at the moment about halving attack values and doubling defence values are that are when attacking across an intact bridge. It seems performing a river crossing/assault does not encompass this halving and doubling rule - is that correct?
Second, after the First section on Combat Modifiers, the section talks about only the first unit (Lead Formation) being able to attack at full value and the rest fighting at half their printed value. So are they halved again?
Honestly, reading these rules is going to make going back to LnL a doddle.
I really, really, really want to like this game and get it on the board...I'm currently reading a book on Op Market Garden...but the rules!! I haven't even gotten to the armour shift part yet.
Bob - you've played this game. If you have any ideas on how to read the rules and get them to stay in my head and make sense, I'm all ears.
