Hello all, I've been lurking for ages - my new profession as a teacher takes ALL of my time - so now that it is the holiday break I have time to finish the...
Tom, I can understand your quandry. Flexiblity is a pain, but single basing is certainly most flexible. I just go with Piquet convention and be done with it ...
Hi, I've been gaming for some 25+ years now and never seriously looked into this period in history as a gaming venture. My areas of interest in miniatures...
Another set of rules to consider is called Skjaldborg. It seems to have a reasonable amount of historical feel but that's just IMO. Best of all, it's free....

... BJ: I agree. If I weren't committed to 28mm. for FPW I would probably be very attracted to 10s for this period. There are several manufacturers doing 10s...
