Thanks for your AAR and comments. I agree, the rules for 'resurrecting' a destroyed unit is not needed. I don't have cavalry for both sides complete yet, so...
Frank, They are from OG15. The British Generals pack, DB artillery pack for the Patriots, and French artillery pack for the Spanish. The DB artillery pack has...
I realised I forgot to do this six or so weeks ago, so here it is. Back in February the Staine Wargamers did a couple of refights of Maipo using the War of...
Hi Steve: Thanks for passing along Scott's comments. I'd like to add a few thoughts of my own: 1. Cavalry. As currently written I tend to agree with Scott's ...

John, For the record, I really like the Quick Play Rules and they are fine just as they are now. Scott's comments ( and by reference, Joe and Mark's) is from...
John, I posted a variant of your QPR to the files section. No worries about IP rights, mostly I used the term 'see John's rules'. This version and any...
Hi With thirteen days to go this is the final update on our game at Salute on 19th April. We've now painted and based all of the figures and Martin is busy ...
Hey Everybody: Frank and I met up at the HMGS-PSW MiniWars mini-con today to play the Maipo scenario. Being as yesterday was the 190th anniversary of the ...
The battle was very diverting, no, entertaining, FUN! The plan did not go as .... planned though. My grand strategy was to roll over the right flank with my...
John, Frank, thanks for the game reports. Good to games are happening. Looking forwward to reports from Salute. Btw, I'm using Vallejo Ivory #70918, for...
... We did Chacabuco instead. And the day before the anniversary. But we're perverse like that :-) The Royalists won after they managed to not only see of...
So, after seeing Johns miniatures I'm wondering what size I should make my bases. So far I've got 1 1/4" x 3/8" for infantry, and they seemed to work ok. My...
What Steve says! At the game Frank was commenting on how cramped my artillery stands look. I agree with him that it's an awkward fit on each stand (I use ...
I don't know why, but I can't bring myself to based different arms on different width bases. All my Carlist Wars bases are 30mm wide, which is approximately 1...
John, For 100 infantry in 3 ranks, that would be 33 files. 1 1/8" at 40 yards per inch is 45 yards. So your infantry bases look good as is, no need to go to...
John, Wow, 1"x1" for artillery, my guns don't fit on bases that small. The tail sticks off of it (checked it last night). Guess I need to find smaller guns?...
Why not make infantry and cav 1 1/4"? 1 1/2" seems a little too big for infantry at least, the models look sparse on such a big base, that extra 1/4" makes a...
Maybe 1 1/4" for everything is the way to go. 2 cavalry can still fit nicely on this size base, 3 infantry will gain an 1/8" over the current system and guns...
Hey Everybody: I know it's been a couple of months since there's been anything new in the miniatures line. That's about to change: Mike just sent me photos of...
I think your concern for historical frontage is commendable but you must also think in terms of the game. When you have a unit with a smaller/larger frontage,...

The Talcahuano scenario has a small number of Chilean Engineers (40 men). John has one of his abbreviated painting guides on p. 45 of liberators. It seems I...
