Eric, great writeup and nice looking table and figures! Sounds like you all enjoyed Battle Command. I own them but haven't played them yet…still use FoB3. |

Very nice set up. I have Sikh Wars figs in 25's and have hesitated doing this battle due to the amount of entrenched artillery the Sikhs had. I was afraid the center of the British line would get wiped out very quickly…. |

@LVG, that was a great concern of mine and the British commander after taking some casualties while advancing. I believe that we rate the Sikh artillery too highly in most colonial rules. Eric |

Which Cigar Box mats did you use? |

Game mats: Cigar Box Sicily maps x 2. These will be great for Boxer Rebellion, Maximilian in Mexico, Punic Wars, Greco-Persian Wars, and Russo-Japanese War collections! Love them, but I sure wish they would make one 10' x 6' cloth! That would be perfect. |
