THE CIVIL WAR Variant LP&C
updated 070427


KGBAST LEADER PROMOTION & CASUALTY [LP&C] CHART.
Note: Not applicable to Naval Leaders; Naval Leaders are subject to the Rulebook Casualty table only

I took the base idea of needing an “8” on the LP&C and incorporated that into a greatly modified version of the French Volunteer table. The Volunteer chart creates great fluctuations in leader ratings that were too extreme and ahistorical. This chart preserves the rare possibility of a change in rating, allows a rare “capture,” severe wounds and a non-combat loss. Also the Union handicap of utilizing the poor generals is eased by the removing / demoting of poor leaders without additional cost in CP. (Yes, this includes being able to ship a bad two-star general to the Removed Box.) BIAS OF VARIANT: Pro-Union [the “May Relieve if loss” without spending CP helps Mr. Lincoln more.]

When each player rolls 2d6 for a LLC. Find the result on the first chart, and see the LP&C Code Chart for clarification.
