071114wagram20.jpgBasing for The Age of Eagles follows similar basing conventions to the popular Napoleon's Battles. There are some subtle differences, but theseare onlyimportant if you are basing from scratch. Many new rule sets use the basing standards from popular earlier rule sets since it is a time consuming process to re-base whole armies.

Age of Eagles - Turn Sequence PDF Print E-mail

071114wagram13The turn sequence of The Age of Eagles starts with a roll-off for initiative. The player that wins has the choice of going first or second for that turn. This could be used to go second in one turn and then first the next turn, effectively having two turns in a row. At times this can be used to effectively crack through a defense and then follow up straight away before the defense could be re-organised. It won't always work, but when it does it can be quite effective.
