Hi All ,

all my apologises if you find it a bit long ;


Do not make a 2nd edition of all those companions, in the medium term, the changes should be compatible to the current companion, a lot of people I know abandoned good product lines from some other companies, for the constant printings of new editions, that replaced recently printed but now totally useless previous editions.

Page40 : MVT rules :

Light foot same speed as Medium foot
Light Cavalry and commanders same speed as Cavalry

Page44: Wheeling:

Maximum wheel possible is 90degrees measuring from the original front
