I was lucky enough to have a mate run the game who had prior experience so didn't have to trundle through the rulebook....Daihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978439841611727387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-25275931880508462632014-12-17T11:12:36.129+00:002014-12-17T11:12:36.129+00:00Ah yes.

It does give you a feel of the detatched army-level command as well. What did you think of Fire and Fury? I think Kietan had the rules but he mentioned they were very complicated so I went for these instead.Colonel Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632701529009379584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-62556572221475740612014-12-17T11:09:10.335+00:002014-12-17T11:09:10.335+00:00I have a large stash of hats of various periods fo...I have a large stash of hats of various periods for full dress-up fun.

It's made for 15mm minis; though as I was just seeing if I liked the rules, we used foam-board counters for Regiments. Far cheaper - I am tempted to just leave the minis aside and play with the counters instead.<br /><br />Good to see you post mate.
