No, but I have watched all of the tv movies. My wife has read all the books.

It is playable. I can understand why you did not use running shot due to the artillery used at the time. I think I would like to see a click or 2 of willpower.

The TV movies are a big reason about why Sean Bean is my favorite actor. He does an AMAZING job portraying Sharpe. And Hugh Fraser does an amazing job as Wellington, too! My dad has read all the books, and my family does own them all, but I've only read a few myself.

The reason I didn't give him Running Shot is because due to the Rifles the Chosen Men were assigned (and before that, Muskets), usually they'd have to stop for a moment and aim at their target. Of course, they were incredible marksmen (for those who don't know, in the books and movies, Sharpe leads a company of elite sharpshooters for England during the Napoleonic Wars). This is why Sharpe has the Sharpshooter symbol. That being said, when they were in battle, they would move in, stop, aim, and then fire. They very seldom shot while on the move because it was a tougher shot, and more chance for them to miss.

I was definitely considering giving Sharpe some Willpower originally, and there are several different circumstances that warrant giving him Willpower (such as when he captured the French Eagle at Talavera). At first I was thinking on a whole that Sharpe often does what he does because its his job, not because he feels driven to do it, thereby eliminating a need for Willpower. However, when I really consider it, to get through a lot of what he has and to do what he has done, he WOULD need Willpower, and I agree that that should be represented on his dial.

As suggested, I put in 2 clicks of Willpower, swapping with Toughness on click 5 and adding it to click 6. Also, I changed around the order of Flurry and Stealth so that now, instead of having 2 clicks of Charge, then 2 clicks of Flurry, then 2 clicks of Stealth right after each other, I mixed it up so that after Charge, he has 1 click of Stealth, followed by 2 Flurry clicks, then another click of Stealth. I like the flow of it better now.
