Rule 13: Stacking
Addition
Counters may . . . Local convention for columns is that the top front
counter is the counter leading the column and the top rear counter is the last counter in the
column. For example a French 6 company unit could be on the table top as follows: (note we have
ignored the fact that the light counter would usually be detached as skirmishers).
- Six counters in a row, the lights leading and the grenadiers in the rear,
- Three stacks of two counters each with the light on top of the leading stack and the
grenadier on top of the rear stack,
- Two stacks of three counters with the light on top of the front stack and the grenadier on
top of the rear stack,
- One stack of six counters with the light on top of the stack and the grenadier on the bottom
of the stack.
B. Artillery:
Addition
Local convention does not use limber counters, instead the gun is
unlimbered when the gun counter is on top of or in front of the crew counter and they are
limbered when the crew is on top of the gun.
C. Generals:
Addition
. . .stacked with the unit (on the unit), or in the square formed by the
unit, or in the same building with the unit. If there are two or more units in a building with a
general or aide, put the counter on top of one of the units.
