Here is the official Army Roster Sheet for BLB2...

Image

We'll get a hi-res version for the Warchest, but this should work well enough for now (and works equally well for BLB1 while you are waiting). I mainly wanted to give another tiny preview of the book. Props to Joe who inspired the design with sheets he brought along for us to use at Historicon last year.

Clarence and Joe,

That looks great. It's simple and to the point.

Regards,

Jim

Clarence,

What tool/program did you use to create the roster sheet? The reason I ask is I want to make one of these for 24 figure units. Thanks.

Clarence,

Same question from me, how can I edit the sheet for my own use???
As I have three brigades of infantry, two brigades of horse and one brigade of dragoons.
Do I have to design a sheet myself :(

Regards,

Ray.

Hmmm... maybe I need to go into business making custom sheets! :D

I created the sheet in CorelDraw, but any basic graphics program should be able to manage the simple layout...

Or just use MS Excel for a very simple solution.

Clarence,

You just might have a side business opportunity! But on a serious side, it would be nice to have a roster sheet for 24 figures as well as 18.

Greg, I'll see what I can do... are your cavalry units still in multiples of six?

Ray, I'll make a version with three foot brigades and three horse brigades.

Probably be a few days until I can get around to it...

Yes our cav is still in multiples of 6 - we have 12 figures per 'unit'.

Hi Clarance,

Here's my version :wink: of the BLB2 Army Roster Sheet for my British at the Battle of Blenheim 1704.

Finally worked it out on how to change a Microsoft Excel file to a JPEG file so I could put it on the forum.

Cheers,

Ray.
