Thank you all for responding. So I think that the best use of my money would be to build a Holy Roman Empire army that would be in lots of battles? And since I will be sharing this time period with local gamers, I should have a second army to fight the HRE at local game stores to build up interest i...
Greetings, in regards to the Trained Bands of the ECW, did fight for both sides? Or better yet, is there a reference somewhere that shows which Trained Bands fought for side?
Greeting, the VWQ group seems to be a bit quite lately. Has anyone been gaming these rules? If so, any pictures or battle reports you want to share? I have been busy painting. Now trying to decide how to do flags for the units. I am thinking of making slip on banners so I can change the units from g...

Alan, do you allow your CnC when his card is drawn to give his order to a Brigadier who could then activate his entire brigade? I like the 6 inch command range from the BG and all the same action. It seems that this would really improve large games and keep them from slowing down and some units not ...
Over the holiday break I was able to breakout my bases and play around with basing and decided that going with half the suggested base size from the rules works better for my 10mm armies. Here's what I'm doing. All infantry on 30x30 bases, 5 shotte per base and 9 pike per base. To make the commanded...
Well then Clarence take a look see at your last version :-) I too was a bit confused in the size of a cavalry regiment. From reading the rules, page 2, 4th paragraph, it says "Horse units may be fielded in regiments of two to four squadrons." Then at the bottom in th 1.1 Unit Organization Box it has...
