Great looking game. I did 1866 in 10mm & I still wonder how much better it would look in 15mm.

Crikey that's an interesting contraption the Austrians have on a tripod, what is it ?

Outstanding blog presentation! Really like the animated maps, binocular-view image, and the newspaper-style Journal page.

@ Ramming, it's a rocket prototype, but I do not know if their number was really important, in any case their effectiveness was questioned …at least on our table!
@ Dave, many thanks for your kind words sir, you make me blush!
Regards,
Phil.

Ah interesting. The rocket launcher in 1866 was actually like a surveyor's theodolite, the Hale's rocket (short, no stick) was inserted, the fuze lit, first the rocket began to spin in the launcher, then the main propellant kicked in and whoosh.

Thank you so much for these precisions Ramming!
Best,
