I have given my first, and very preliminary, impressions of these rules on my blog:

Generally I feel very happy with the changes and developments. I look forward to reading other reviews in the near future. |

Thanks, what would be a typical table size and roughly how many formations per side would be typical in a small game? |

I just got my copy in the mail yesterday. Looking forward to playing. |

Norm, the rules suggest that figures should be 15mm or 28mm and 12" on the tabletop represents 50 yards. A 6 x 4 table is ideal but you could get away with 28" by 20" if using 10mm or smaller. A core force should be around 40 to 50 figures plus some additional support which could be something like a holy man, a physic or a musician, a water cart or an ammunition wagon. I am looking at a French force for the French and Indian War. Status 3 Leader

If 12" represents 50 yards, wouldn't the best size of miniature be 10mm? Or roughly N-scale (1:160). |

The best size of miniature is whatever you already have. The rules work fine with any scale. |

I'm using 60mm figures for FIW and I may have to double the ranges. |
