Just a short note to say that the January Slingshot was posted Wednesday morning so should be with most subscribers this week. Those wishing to subscribe...
The rules say that an army needs a camp, unless a BUA is present, or if the army has more than one war wagon. Now suppose that my army has two war wagons, and...
