New Testers

Hi Everyone
I have recently joined the test group. I am based in Christchurch, NZ and will be testing the rules with Basil Moskovis. Basil and I received our rules just over 2 weeks ago and have already had 4 enjoyable games. Both Basil and I were both DBM addicts and anti anything that challenged DBM's place as the premier ancients ruleset. We're over that now after reading and playing a few games of FOG.
I don't believe I have a good enough grasp of the rules to add any useful comment at this stage. However I can say that the rules are easy to follow and in my opinion give a realistic feel of ancient battles. After two days reading Basil and I understood the rules well enough to play a game without much rule searching. The quick reference sheets are a great help. We have only played non historic games with Alexander taking on, and disposing of both the French and English medieval armies. I will be trying an Avar army against Basil's Medieval German's on Thursday.
I have some confusion about what version I am using. I was sent files with the file name stating V5.04 but the document itself is markerd V5.03 at the foot of every page. The reference sheets are however marked V5.04. Can someone help?
Further to this is it possible to re-issue the reference sheets to include the new shooting POA's?
