The discussion of Swedish brigades on the beta board reminds me that Charles told me IIRC that the Royalists (?) used Swedish brigade formations at (?) Edgehill. Worth finding out and including in the army list if appropriate?

I got this from Stuart Reid's "All the King's Armies". This is a ...

all good. i've already discovered some interesting typos.

pg 7 - is is tercios "with more than 50%" or, "50% or more". i'm thinking the latter, and it'll effect the game we're having soonish.

Neither. The bullet would read more clearly thus "battle groups which start the game with more than 50 ...

I have the rules now and have read through them. I have comments on some of them and questions about others. Is it appropriate to post them here, or do I need to wait for the Beta forum?

It will be best to use the beta test forum which is set up but for some reason you don't have access yet ...

Speculating as always armed with some logic but no foreknowledge . . . .

Crossover compatibility and commercial considerations suggest troops based for Medieval FOG will work for FoGRen, so DBR bases should work.

But FoG is a higher scale than DBR so I think separate stands of battalion guns are ...

We're working on going up to 1700 - effectively the end of pikemen.
