The 50% option seems attractive to me.  Especially as in my Osprey books it tells me that LI were trained to fight with one half of the battalion skirmishing with the other half  manoeuvring.  That’s exactly what my unit of Perry figures looks like. It just seems wrong  (from an aesthetic point of view) to base them all up on squ…[Read more]

I know they were perfectly capable of all the normal formations, but I like the idea of them deploying a bit different to the Line battalions from the word go. I guess that would just be my choice of how I use them as a player. (I should mention I only just got the rules…[Read more]

The first compartment in the box comes up “source”. But I don’t know how to work it. I want to add a picture from my laptop.  Can anyone tell me how?

Thanks in advance. I am dim with these things

That is encouraging.

I didn’t know that about figure count.  (I haven’t got a copy of the rules yet). My pal told me that Standard units are 24 figures, Large units are 36 figures and Small units are 12 figures.  Maybe that is something he has worked out as a standard for himself. I have been organising units working to that.

My pal has the rulebook (I presume it is BP2) and is creating a French Peninsular army. I have joined in to do the British and Portuguese.

He is basing his  4 figs on 40 x 40mm. (ie a 20mm frontage per figure) However, I had not really decided on a ruleset yet and wanted to leave…[Read more]
