Lordy that's a lot of photo's - must have taken ages to upload - but what a crackign sounding game..

You seem to have 6 man squadrons and 12 man battalions? What rules are you using??

Steve,
We mounted our troops for Might and Reason, but actually use Beerstein's "beer and pretzels" house rules. They are quick and simple (one page). I'll post them because others have also been interested.
Best regards...Bill

Bill - Fantastic battle report! And excellent photos too, just to add to it all. I'll keep an eye out for the rules posting, too.

Keep up the good work!
