Hi Matt – I suggest you check out ‘Millers Miniatures’ YouTube channel and his latest video in which he reviews the actual sprues.  There are some nice single firing musketeers on the cavalry sprue.  He also compares the figures to Steel Fist Miniatures 15mm line and they look spot on to me.

Intresting… (just doing a bit of reading up) Folgore was a single poorly equiped division (& was destroyed in the 2nd battle of El Alamein (the one british history remembers, but doesnt remember the Italins in it!).

Yes – think of Boom Chits as “significant emotional events” such as 20mm cannon shells passing your cockpit 🙂

thx for the reply . i am still confused though

ah yeah…. that would increase the difficulty some what…

Ahh, we were giving boom chits only after the opponent had a chance to save.  That may explain why it was so hard.

ouch….. dont know which of the two posts is the harder to read!

Your force is made up of one or more Platoons.
Your Platoons are made up of a compulsory HQ unit, usually 2 other compulsory units, and a number of optional units.  Each unit is a squad/section, team, artillery gun and it’s crew, or a…[Read more]
