Perhaps light guns not being used as battalion guns might be more useful with a slighter longer range. Many armies had numbers that were not, apparently, used in conjunction with infantry units.

I would like to be able to regularly eviscerate my Imperial enemies with my Swedish artillery so, for that reason alone, would be in favor of such a rule change. Thus endeth the homily.

I'm fond of a Wrought Iron color by Folk Art Acrylics. It has weird gray-black shade. Hit it with a lick of satin varnish for an interesting finish.

Very, very nice. I wish they weren't quite so big as nearly all my TYW figs are old MiniFigs and Essex.

I am one of the gallant lads battling for King and Parliament and we had a great time. FoGR is being received very well amongst our crew. There is interest in the forthcoming 16th century and Eastern book.

I seem to remember someone posting flags for the Grenvilles on either War Flags or Warflag sites. Sorry! I do recall discussions in which it was decided there was very little basis for uniforms.
