c) Replacement die roll for ammo, horses, and leaders (beat BMP with 1D6; officers may confer benefits to die roll)
Step 3 – Reveal Orders (Charging units must now designate their target; must charge units in their primary zone first)
Step 4 – First Fires (Units marked HOLD may refuse a flank; they may fire anytime in steps 4-8)

|COMBAT DICE |
|Die |> |
Rapid fire with breechloaders – ammo runs low on die roll of all 5s and 6s; with repeaters, ammo runs low on all 4s, 5s, and 6s
|REQUIRED MORALE CHECKS |
|1. First casualty |
|2. “Hit” by ART, SHPSHTR (+1 to roll per hit) |
|3. Loss of a stand or section |
|4. Within 6” visibility of routed |
| or destroyed unit, or officer hit |
| Die roll of 2 = automatic rout |
| Die roll of 12 = automatic rally |
|If a unit SHAKES, fall back 1D6 inches unless an officer is present |Yellow marker |
|If a unit ROUTS, fall back bonus movement amount |Red marker |
Step 5 – Move Disengaging Units (roll # dice per bonus movement; retire facing away from enemy in disorder)
Step 6 – Charges
|CHARGE PROCEDURE |
|1. Charging unit reveals orders and designates charge target. | 5. If defender wins – attacker falls back in disorder 1D6 (INF) or 2D6 |
|2. Roll for charge bonus; calculate disorder point in charge. |(CAV) from the defender (½“ in woods/rough, 1” other minus modifiers). |
|Disorder at ½ of bonus for elite, vet; full charge for green, etc. | 6. If attacker wins – defender falls back in disorder 2D6 from |
|3. Roll 1D6 for point of defensive volley (none if FR at attacker) |the attacker (½“ in woods/rough, 1” other). If die roll total is: |
|Elite, vet use ½ inches for distance; green troops use full inches |(2-4) same morale, (5-8) shaken, (9-11) routed, (12) picked up. |
|(-1” if officer present, or elite, or in works; +1” if in disorder, CH or forming) |(-1DRM Elite, -1 Officer present, +1 Green troops, +2 Militia) |
|Max. of +1 or –1 Cannot fire at same unit twice – can fire at a different charger |Attacker now moves rest of charge distance and goes into disorder. |
|4. Dice down for Impact. Low total wins. If “tie” go to Melee. | 7. Both sides now fire simultaneous 2 dice volley with modifiers. |
|Both attacker and defender calculate Impact Morale by adding | 8. If units end turn in contact, they Melee until one is picked up. |
|2D6 roll to BMP, MPM, Formation Impact and Unique Impact Morale Modifiers |1st round of Melee, supporting units count as half, continuing |
| |rounds count as full. If unit “routs” in Melee, it surrenders. |
