I played a game of this during Johnny Con here in Indianapolis this June it is a fun game with some similarities to JR3 but some very clever and nice differences that keep all players involved in reacting. I haven't Bought rules in YEARS, but this is going to be on my list. |

I think the rules look good, but I have trouble with only two stands for the unit. Especially in 28mm. I bet 6 or 10mm would look great though. I am looking forward to trying the rules. |

I wouldn't worry about the 2-3 stand units, theu will normally be pretty much almost linked with other regiments to form a battleline for mutual support. They will be setup in a brigadelike formation of 2-3 stand regiments. |
completes a Confederate river ironclad.
