Hi I have posted some pictures of Allied cavalry during the Peninsular War (ca. 1811). The figures include British Heavy Cavalry and Spanish Line Cavalry (both...

YWOM! I've tried both approaches over the years, either way seems ok. I'm finally upgrading my forces from 6mm to 15mm (Fantassin & Old Glory), plopped on to...
OK, I'll admit to being braindead - what's YWOM? Warmest regards, // Bill // Wilbur E. Gray Colonel, US Army (Ret) HMGS East Webmaster www.hmgs.org ... YWOM!...

It seems like all of my questions have to do with figures and basing, and I know the answer usually comes down to "do what you think looks best...." but how...
That's exactly how it's done. I am actually including another stand for other battalions in the brigade. Since I'm rebasing, I couldn't bring myself to toss...

Question 1: Can anyone explain the need for the supersede command rule? To overcome any negative modifiers on the Reserve Movement Table. Useful when you...
Correct. This system is designed to simulate in particular early Allied command processes where staff functionality was adhoc and rudimentary at best. Here...
Gang, This has been a rough week for the Group. First I chose to remove a couple/three messages due a concern from a parent over her son running into...
As I told Mike Brown in a private email, my army (and interests) lie primarily with the Peninsular British, part of the reason why I couldn't conceptualize how...
