As for Grand Armee, I was lucky enough to use them with Dave last year, again they have some great ideas. Due to having 6mm I will stick to Blucher and Volley and Bayonet, simply because I based my armies for the rules.

If you've got issues 13-24 of Miniature Wargames, any complete runs of Practical Wargamer, or perhaps older things like Battle, I might be interested in taking some of them off your hands if the price is right. As with Graham above, I'll be sticking to the mid-18th century. . . probably until senility sets in. I finally came to the difficult conclusion in the early 200s that if I ever wanted anything to get done, it was entirely necessary to limit my focus. Hence my Johnny -One-Note-itus of the last dozen years. Finally, great news about and congratulations on your book! Please do let us know when it will become available for public consumption.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558595533686058562.post-8924394422887760312017-07-11T07:52:10.953-07:002017-07-11T07:52:10.953-07:00Robbie,
