I did.thanks.

I did enjoy, mate. What rules are you using- the initiative/commander ratings looked interesting. I still use Grant's rules, but am also looking for an option to use smaller units. Cheers.

Herky!!!! you finally won one!!!

Herky!!!! you finally won one!!! Indeed! and I found out why I kept losing! – I had worked out an army for Phil and made a mistake in allowing him 100pts too much infantry! I made a rod for my own back! I still enjoyed the games though!!!
