I suppose of my armies were exclusively OG2, I would be fine with that but the OG2 seem scrawny to my eye. <br /><br />I do wish S&S would have continued their Napoleonics range. Their guns are my favorites although their cavalry on on the smaller end of the 25mm spectrum.

Since they never expanded the range after the initial release, there's little incentive to use them.

O..."Buy me! I'm a cheap date!" :-)<br /><br />Of course I can sit on the fence with two friends playing. With Mollwitz, it's likely to be sequential kicking anyway... Austrian Cavalry kicks Prussian Cavalry, Prussian Infantry kicks Austrian infantry.
