Hi Guys: I have been KO for a while during a move. My own computer is still not up

Chris, I am sure you will do what reasonably can be done, but please bear in mind that there are a number of us out here who use Large Battles and would hate...
I quite like the Shako big battles although I have only played them twice. But there are some problems, as the rules as they stand do not make allowances for...
