Can anyone please explain how well Infantry Attacks simulates WWI tactical combat? Or is it too close to PG?]]>

Something I did, which is different from the regular PG series, was to create the corps to which a unit may have been attached. I think it adds structure to the formation lists.

The Russians were a little weird in that they have "Army" corps, which is what everyone has. Then they have Siberian Corps, Caucasian Corps, and 2 or 3 other such corps, which are just like "army" corps, but not army corps.

The Austro-Hungarians were even weirder. All their corps are under the Imperial and Royal Army, but some divisions and brigades are drawn from other armies of the empire. This sometimes made a formation having 2 parents. Such as the 13th Landwehr Infantry Division drawn from the Austrian Landwehr, but is subordinate to the 2nd Corps.]]>

If this is correct, then, I'm afraid that my arithmetic skills have declined to the point where I am unsure of exactly how to calculate how far units may travel down the Road at 2/3rd MP per hex. For example, if each Road Hex is 2/3rd MP per hex, How many hexes down the road can a 2MP unit move? What about a 3MP unit? A 5MP unit?

I thought about it and I merely suspect that the correct formula is to DIVIDE the MP of the unit by .66 to arrive at the solution. I tried Multiplying .66 and that was obviously wrong. Division by .66 generates a solution that looks like it might be correct. Am I right?

Thanks for the help.]]>

"On "2" or "3"result, assault causes 2 or 3 step losses (respectively) to each category."

I understand the part about Categories a and b. What confuses me is that the Rule seems to be asking us to ignore the Assault Combat Chart results listed for a 2 or 3 dice roll and instead to apply the Confusing Rule triggering a 2 step loss on a dice roll of 2 and a 3 step loss on a dice roll of 3. 

Aggravating the situation is the fact that there are no Examples of Play in the Rules for Assault Combat. 

How do I apply the Rule? Thanks.]]>

I am an absolute newbie trying to learn this PzG game system. I rarely play tactical board wargames, and I chose the Infantry Attacks series of games because I am intensely interested in the World War One battles of 1914 and early 1915. 

I have a few rules questions. My first question is regarding the Close Assault section of the Rules. My understanding is that an Infantry Company must BEGIN the Activation phase Adjacent to the hex to be Assaulted. It is illegal to move into the Assault hex from a hex that is not Adjacent. In other words, in Clear Terrain, a Jager infantry company with a movement of 3 must move Adjacent to the Assault hex in one turn. Then in the following turn it must be Activated and then enter the Assault hex. The Jager infantry company cannot legally move into the Assault hex and execute an Assault from 2 or 3 hexes away from the Assault hex. 

Do I understand the Rules correctly? 

Thank you.]]>

I suspect these charts are not going to last very long. They seem too messed up to remain in their current form, the ones with the pictured backgrounds I mean.
