Looks really interesting -- need to save my pennies, but can you add a link to your site?

Does look very good, even better painted.

But at £50.00 GBP will have to think twice, could buy a lot of figures for that much.

Still for a travel game that I could play with my 16yr old son…..might have to get a copy.

Great looking little game.

This newest version of a portable wargame is very nicely done, high-quality. The concept of it, however, goes back further than 25 years. This was first introduced at the MFCA war game convention in 1968. Devised by Bob Wall. That version was just a paper battlefield with players supplying their own figures. It was also one of the first tournament war games in history.

David Smith presented a travel DBA game for 6mm in the Historical Miniature Gamer, December 1992.

Does anyone know of other wargames that could fit in a cigarbox – like container?

Hello SB here's a link to the site… although I'm not sure I've done this right.

Thanks, love the game!! Will people be able to buy additional force packs or army sets/sprues of figures? You know us wargamers -- gotta have the proper uniforms painted up, eh?

Not enough cavalry!

My copy was mailed out tuesday…..Air Mail I hope!!

Since the game lives or dies by the rules, it would be nice to see them as a free download like Fantasy Flight does.

Yes. Love to see the rules. Being able to see then will have a big influence if I part with cash

They should just release the rules for free so we can all see how "great" the idea is. Im not gonna pay that much for rules with a game attached.

My copy is ordered.
I hope to receive it next week.

I don't think it is that expensive, take a look at C&C Napoleonic, which is a different game, but much more expensive.
