95th Melee

[crinklechips]

In 95th Only Cavalry are listed as having swords.  Does every character have the ability to melee?  Also, Is there a way to decide whether the enemy reloads its gun or charges into melee?

Infantry have muskets with bayonets usually, all can melee. Cavalry are different becasue they can melee more than one enemy with the Ride Through (page 32).
Yep, they p[perform action in order from top down, shoot, charge, reload, etc. Hope this helps,

Thanks. That’s clear.

So at this time it was a case of shoot and charge unless you were behind cover, then reload and continue the firefight.

Going off subject - let me tell you, my history lessons at school were atrocious.  I learned next to nothing. All of my history knowledge is self taught.  My chief interests are the classic era and late antiquity and I’ve dabbled in the middle ages. Lately I’ve bought audio lectures on the ‘French Revolution and Napoleon’ and the American Revolution is next on the list.  Gaming fuels my continued interest!
