To lead, one must be recognized as a leader. To paraphrase Hancock, sometimes an officer's life does not count.

Interesting that you're adopting your own rules, I'm in a similar situation with the Franco-Prussian war. Going down in the "engine room" rules-wise allows one to really get the right period flavor. I'd love to see what you've done, especially on French army list and how they are mirrored in rules in terms of how they French faction is played with national Pro/Cons. One thing I've been working with for 1870 is the increased range of the Chassepot for instance. Anyways, best wishes for the continuation of this great project!Black Powderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811405795071310375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-46283357990008402742015-01-31T01:17:25.192-08:002015-01-31T01:17:25.192-08:00Magnificent troops chief, they are excellent.

My plan is to turn the production dial up a little more in 2015. Perhaps, start the French in earnest?<br /><br />Since it has been about two years since the review parade for this project, I will put together soon. That way, I can assess what I have accomplished and what is wanting. You will be a witness.<br /><br />For rules, I use my own based on Howard Whitehouse's concept of Combat Value as found in Old Trousers and Ironsides.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267180105171392028.post-50639379357210033582015-01-30T15:56:53.294-08:002015-01-30T15:56:53.294-08:00These figures are larger than most of the Freikorp...These figures are larger than most of the Freikorps figures and fit in well with Old Glory and Mirliton.
