The rules provide that one should use 12 " inch rods divided into 3 " inch sections. From years ago I acquired some 1" male female threaded rods. Just the ticket They are machined aluminum about 3/16" diameter and BELOW a helpful lad has told us where we can all get some. I love them for this rule set I am just now exploring. The figures are 28mm Foundry Prussians from the 1870 FP war.

Very nice! And with that range of colours you can make up custom rods in the colours of the armies: red-white-blue for French, etc. Chris Bloody Big BATTLES! link bloodybigbattles.blogspot.co.uk

These have a certain heft to them that we like For low on ammo will use spent 22 shells.
