get C F Weisencrafts, Pike and Shot wargames book, either an old second hand or I think John Curry does a reprint.

The rules are very 70s, but the second half of the book is enough battles with map and oob to keep any wargamer happy for a while.
When you say the Caliver ones are these the little booklets released for DBR? They are actually very good and have a ton of scenarios in them.

Resistance is futile, you know it deserves the full works. How about a mini speaker to relay the call to prayer, go on, go on.

As a matter of interest how big is it?
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

The compound perimeter is 550mm square which is perfect on those floor tiles because they are 300 cm each so it leaves a foot path around the outside. I am considering a sheet of rugs and carpets for the rooms inside.

We had a theory that if your uniform fitted straight off the shelf you were probably entitled to a medical discharge on account of your deformity.

On my workbench are several platoons that have now had the 'goop' mixture applied to their bases.. it's a long way to go. Especially as I still have at least three more platoons over and above the 5 I am actively preparing.
