Hmmmmmmmm, so Zhmodikov doesn't do it for you, huh. OK, how's about: Instruction sur le service de l'artillerie par M. Hulot, Paris 1813, or Petit manuel du...
This is an excellent point, though I think we are really talking about an exacerbation of yet another pre-existing BOFF issue. I can see in BOFF a Union...
Bill, Hmmm...so Kutaisov and duTeil don't do it for YOU? ;-) [back at you] Yes, in the end we always make trade-offs in establishing stand size vs scale. The...

One last comment from me on Artillery bases. What are the base sizes on the front cover of the rule book? The artillery depth is the same as the infantry. Are...

Colin, ... Journal? ... battery up, but it does take another (flanking) battery to effectively disable his unit. That might imply his battery offered a ...
It may well depend on the personality of your group. Wouldn't bother me. The reasons for the one inch depth include replicating doctrinal distances between...
Hello, I'm looking for an OOB for the British at Waterloo. I've purchased the Osprey Campaign but they only give rough army totals without breaking down the...
