I don't just chuck this stuff together you know....

So it is polish Bacon.

I've got a query on the restrictions. Does the limit on superior foot and mounted count for light troops or is it just for battle troops?

Quoting the restrictions:-
"......Foot Battle Troops. No more than half of these BGs may be Superior or Elite."
and
"......Mounted Battle Troops. No more than half of the BGs of these may be Superior or Elite."

The only exception noted is for Commanded Shot which are not counted as Foot Battle Troops for this purpose. So Light troops are NOT restricted as far as I can see.

However in period for Warfare - Early Imperial Spanish have detached Spanish Musketeers

It is quite a task to design period dates that save Nigel from himself!

Thanks to everyone who has sent me their list so far, it is really helpful if I don't have to do everyone all in the space of a week. The FOG AM 25mm crew are very much on top of their game - just two to go there!

I am having a few days break for the kids half term, so if anyone does have a list that they are just sitting on, it would be really nice if you could get them in to me sooner rather than later. Deadline is 30 October.

Cheers all,

Well, List decided and draft in... I can guarentee when the R&R goes up it should provide some moments of entertainment and certainly isn't a sensible choice.... But I can say its not Cossacks or French.....

Or Danish...

Sadly, Don Avis can't make it any more, but the upside is that we have a place available if anyone can help us out and avoid a bye!

If so, please contact me direct on tjp.child[at]gmail.com.

Tim - I think I may have someone for you (might be me, might be a friend - we'll have to discuss it first). I'll email you.

Be good to see you Brendan if you can make it...

Only "problem", after your extreme dice bad luck last weekend you must be due some extreme good dice...

It's never worked that way for me before, but there's always a first time. And I shall be using my new Peter Pig dice, so ya never know!

Why are Peter Pig dice so popular? Do they roll an unnatural amount of 6s?
