No changes to unit sizes or basing (which, as Terry mentions, is very flexible anyway). There will be MORE skirmishers in the game, however, based and...

For some reason, Yahoo mail isn't sending anything out to my knowledge. I responded to Roger's note three times, and yet it isn't here, so I figured that...
Mark, The lacquer bit. Is this enough to prevent a soak up at the edges if you try to darken a light edge? It's the one thing I haven't mastered efectively....
I did my flags in a manner very similar to Mark's, EXCEPT I put a sheet of tin (from a toothpaste tube) between the folded flag using contact cement. This ...

Hi David, On my club we use to play what we call "Big Game" once per year, it's a all weekend playing Shako. Every year we end the game with the feeling that...
