You are a very lucky man being able to play with so many fabulous toys and in such illustrious company.<br />I take it that BP calls for really big units? Won't do it for me, as I'm way too slow at painting units in 28mm. Anyway, great stuff as always!<br /><br />Cheers<br />SGSire Godefroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13278575582941391824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991076225884911243.post-59049868108544329882009-09-16T08:45:11.411+00:002009-09-16T08:45:11.411+00:00Thanks for the comments.
Steve, I could be mistak...Thanks for the comments.<br /><br />Steve, I could be mistaken, but there is certainly a type of loose/open order formation that isn't covered by the rules. As the author of the "British Grenadier!" AWI rules, Eclaireur was much exercised by this point. I also omitted to mention that there is a novel (at least to me) orders system, whereby you state what you want a unit to do and then roll dice to see if your order makes it through. That and the rapid movement system makes the game quite unpredictable. I think "fast and fun" is what the rules are aiming for and, to be honest, is what they deliver.<br /><br />GilesGileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431052344684945450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991076225884911243.post-38722432072935766722009-09-15T22:41:05.402+00:002009-09-15T22:41:05.402+00:00Giles Please Stop!
