Subedai, Sorry but only just seen your post of last year. Lack of Prussians on Saturday attributed to the fact that 'Like a stone wall' Group always play their demo games throughout a show whilst still attempting to chat with all onlookers. Serious multi plate spinners are we! In this case it was a ...

I first employed it in 1992 when writing our group's Marlburian rule set "Wild Geese" and it served very well indeed. When in Caliver a co...

Ray Having seen the very informed response you received I feel what I am about to add may be now pointless. Only last week I commisioned Nick the Mole within our group to scratchbuild the very same thing. However if you are able to acquire drawings of the church at the time of the battle then he may...
