Notes: Which British generals qualify as Inert is a matter of opinion. I opt for White, somewhat surprisingly Roberts, Kitchener, most of Buller’s subordinates, but not Buller himself, who was more spinned against by Roberts than sinning. I have rounded up the Boer artillery to allow a single element to simulates its nuisance value. Symons can only be used in 60AP games. The British “15pdr” gun actually fired a 14 pound shell, so is not classed as heavy.
