Has anyone actually played these BoB rules? They seem to have come with a minimum of fanfare. What are the mechanisms? How about the basing? Command and Control? Vehicles? I've got a bunch of BoB Bloody Baron's forces and Warlord Chinese sitting in a box raring (sp?_ to go and am wondering if this is the set, or whether the new title upcoming from Osprey will be the way to go. |

Are they stand alone set of rules or do you need a copy of Back of beyond rules to use them? |

I had them for about 2 weeks then sold them on Ebay. They are ok but nothing outstanding. If I remember rightly units were 10-16 figures with one d6 thrown for each figure firing hitting on a 4+ with no Save rolls, so fast bloody games I expect, thats the type of thing they are. WG Great War are a better idea if you like rolling dice. The pictures were nice though. |

If this ruleset is, as has been asserted elsewhere, an improved version of CLA, how come it's usually described as a skirmish set, which CLA isn't? Would it translate well to The Mexican Revolution (please, opinions only from those with some familiarity with the MR)? |

makes corrections when some models don't turn out the way he expected!
