Awesome Simon... you have to let me know WHICH (out of Highlanders and Buccaneers) holds the title of 'Battlefield Dominance'.
I imagine it will mostly depend on which one holds the record for being rolled up by Alasdair's 100% mounted force first.
I have to hand it to you Simon, you get the award for testicular fortitude in an open comp

In the piccies, apart from one BG which is a 6 (Cameron of Lochiel), all the others are 8's as the outside files have 3 ranks. I suspect his Superiors will be 6's (3 of them) and the averages will be 8's. They can take quite a bit of punishment - even more if Simon has a GC! OK shooting, good impact and warrior overlaps - a powerful combination!
It will be a tough and pretty army but will struggle against the horsemeister. However Alasdair is only 1 of 23 possible opponents and even if Simon does have to face him, he can always drop his worst score!
Roll on Sunday when all will be revealed! Safe journey all and see you torrow.

Why is one of your figures on the command stand holding a cat upside down whilst biting his tail?
