Electronic Brigadier - Play test #2

Tonight my friend Ed and uncle Ralph came by to help me with another play test of my computer-moderated wargaming rules, Electronic Brigadier. The battle was a variation of Freeman's Farm. Tonight's game was the first try with Artillery, a section of 6-pounder guns for each side.

The game went more smoothly than the first game. Fatigue tracking is now implemented, and seems to be working well. Next step will be to enable fatigue penalties for morale and combat resolution. With some suggestions we also came up with some other small refinements to both the programming and game procedures.

I'm running a public game with the rules in October at the Carnage convention, so play testing will continue to be a priority between then and now.
