I only hope we can work through everything to make a great game. Be aware however that we shortened the range of canister simply because we thought it fired way to far. Two lovely games by the way, and I would have liked a command.

Our grenadier battalions in this game were "small" and even with the "superior unit" advantage did fare too well because of their size.

Never been a fan of set unit sizes BUT in the smaller scales - we used 10mm - it is far more appropriate than in 25-30mm. There are certainly bits I like butthus far I consider HoW a brigade level game rather than the battalion level I normally play for SYW.<br /> Still this coming Saturday will see Big Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235478427317774609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511789373348712995.post-36132153668203797542016-06-09T07:44:46.709+01:002016-06-09T07:44:46.709+01:00terrific looking game.
