They were developed during lockdowns and suffer from a lack of good play testing. I would use paper units and try it - before you sink too much effort.

There are 6,000 children trapped in illegal schools in England โ many hidden behind claims of โpart-timeโ education. In reality, theyโre confined to cramped rooms, forced to study scripture for hours each day. Donate today to stop this.

Spanish guerilla lancers from Eagle Miniatures, bought last week at the Hereward show. WIP presently, but nearly good enough for a GdA2 unit. Sadly lost one horse due to weak ankles!

Sharp Practice Deployment Point for the 1812 campaign.
Played I, Napoleon with my friend. Its a wonderful game where you try to navigate N from being a lowly captain to an all conquering Emperor with a dynasty in place. We got to crowning him Emperor until bad domestic news and his brothers crawling out the woodwork led to a terminal unpopularity.
