• Cavalry Fire: at 3” and 6” because of carbines, thus
out-ranged by infantry.
• Crack CS cavalry fire mounted at half effect in close
range only, dismounted as union cavalry at both
ranges, because of pistols and shotguns.
• Artillery Prolong: unlimbered artillery can move 1”
directly forward or to the rear. This is in addition to the
facing change already allowed.
• Rifled Artillery: US: have 2 rifled to 1 smooth. CS:
have 1 rifled to 1 smooth. Use the modified fire factor
table.
• Horse Artillery: Units designated as horse artillery are
treated as a “damaged” battery (fire at ½) and are
“wrecked” if damaged by combat.
• Silenced Guns: Silenced guns can ignore the F&F
rules for becoming un-silenced and may roll on the
modified maneuver table under “Disordered: Silenced”
to see what happens.
• Out of Ammunition: Brigades and batteries which roll
a natural “10” must roll on the Out of Ammo column
included on the fallen leader table to see if they’re
really out.
Basic Point System
If you do not have a scenario handy, use this system to
determine the sides.
Basic Stands:
• The basic purchase is a single stand
veteran infantry = 5 points
green stands -1 (ie 4pts.)
crack stands +1 (6 pts.)
cavalry +2 ( i.e. veteran cav. 7 pts. )
• Brigade Command stand @ 10 points plus above
modifiers. (You must have one for each brigade.)
Artillery:
• Smoothbore artillery stand = 50 points.
• Rifled artillery stand = 60 points.
• Horse artillery (either) stand = 30 points. (Counts as a
‘damaged’ battery (½ fire points) and a ‘damage’ result
will actually wreck it.
• Arillery can be selected at a maximum of 1 battery for
every two brigades plus a maximum of 2 Corps
batteries.
• Cavalry brigades have horse artillery stands.
Command Stands:
• Corps command = 50 points.
• Divisional command = 25 points.
• 1 unattached cavalry brigade can be chosen but 2 or
more brigades must be under divisional command.
• Maximum of four brigades per division.
• Roll 1d10 for each general/brigade – 9 or 10 indicates
exceptional.

Victory Point System

Without victory conditions? Use this chart from the F&F
book for a quick take on who won and who lost.

1vp Each “worn” enemy brigade

1vp Each “wrecked” or captured gun stand
1vp Each enemy division leader or exceptional brigade
commander captured, killed or wounded.
2vp Each “spent” enemy brigade.
2vp Each enemy corps leader or exceptional division
commander captured, killed or wounded.
4vp Each enemy brigade that “quits the field” or is
eliminated.
4vp Each enemy exceptional corps leader captured,
killed or wounded.

Fire and Fury: RQ Optional Modifications and Rules
The following modifications to existing F&F rules extend basic game mechanics and concepts. They reward various troop types,
increasing the overall realism of the game.

Uncommitted Maneuver Modifier:

Brigades which have not fired during the game and do not have LOS to an enemy brigade within 36” have a +3 to their
maneuver roll.
Unengaged Maneuver Modifier:
Brigades which have not fired or charged in two turns and which do not have LOS to an enemy brigade within 18” have a +1
to their maneuver roll.

Troop quality adjustments to Maneuver and Fire:

Two new troop types are added (Elite and Militia) to account for the European armies and extreme ACW troops. Troop
quality now figures into more of what the troops do as well. The following modifiers affect Maneuver/Disorder and Fire combat.
Mvr DisOrd Fire
Elite: +1 +2 +1d
Crack: +1 +1 0
Veteran: 0 0 0
Green: 0 -1 -1d
Militia: -1 -2 -2d

Crack/Elite units can deploy or redeploy line and still move a half move
Veteran units deploy or redeploy line and still move a quarter move

Passage of Lines Penalty: Passing through friendly stands will still cost 3MP for the moving unit but in addition there is a 30%
chance that either or both units will become disordered based on troop quality.
• Crack/Elite units need not roll.
• Veteran units may pass through only on a ‘Well-Handled’ result without rolling. If being passed through, however, they must roll
>3 on 1d10 or be Disordered.
• Green units must be ‘Well-Handled’ and roll a >3 on 1d10 to not be Disordered whether passing or being passed through.
• Militia units may not pass through and will automatically be Disordered if passed through.

Horse Artillery can move half and unlimber as a single action. This means they can move/unlimber/fire.

Brigade and Higher Officer figs;

Cannot be fired or charged upon as a single target nor are they counted as the nearest unit for breakthrough charges. If
contacted in a charge or movement while unattached they must roll to get away (Lost Leader Table?). If successful, they may be
repositioned anywhere within a normal movement range. They may not attach to a unit at this time.

Charges:
Multi Brigade Charge Modifiers: When an attacker makes a charge with multiple regiments he must declare a ‘primary’ unit. This
must be the brigade with the most stands in contact with the target brigade and/or attacking nearest the front facing of the target. This
‘primary’ brigade will be from whence the attacker draws all charge modifiers. Conversely, the defender’s modifiers will be drawn
from the targeted brigade.

Charge results where losses are incurred will apply only to the ‘side’ never to each brigade involved. This is a change from the FAQ
and gets rid of a penalty on using multiple brigades. It should be used in conjunction with the addition of another stand’s loss on
differences of three and higher on the charge table.

Hasty charge: Any unit that charges an enemy that they cannot trace LOS to at the start of their maneuver receives a –1 to there
charge score.

Troop Quality and Charges: For every difference of two (2) between the opposing sides troop quality in a charge, a +1 is given to
the superior grade of troop.

1
Exotic Optional Rules:
These rules vastly change the game and should be used only with complete understanding by both parties.

Breaking a Charge:
If the defender can cause at least 2 stands worth of casualties the attacker must make a roll to continue the charge. If failed,
the attacker withdraws to cover in disorder.

Detachment of Regiments:
Any number of separate stands can be detached from a maneuver element during the attach/detach phase. This represents a
number of regiments being utilized independently. The resulting formations are rolled for as individual units on the maneuver table.
Detached elements operate at the strength level of their parent brigade but both are limited to legal formations for the number of actual
stands involved. Detached regiments (the ones without the brigade colors) suffer a –1 Maneuver penalty but act as normal brigades
and can be removed if reduced to one stand. As stands from detached regiments are removed from play, the parent brigade is assumed
reduced to the appropriate strength level (worn/spent) based on the total number of stands still in play. Detached elements are
considered rejoined at the moment movement brings the stands of the parent into contact.

Attachment of Regiments:
Separate stands from brigades that have been reduced through casualties to “spent” can be amalgamated into a single brigade.
The newly formed brigade has a troop level of “worn” no matter how many stands are folded into it. The Troop Quality of the new
Brigade is the lower of two equals or the quality of the brigade providing at least 2/3 of the resulting new unit. Replace the colors
stand of one of the brigades with a regular stand to denote the new status.
