Throw in some militia, generals and a few other odds and ends and you have a modest order!<br />As far as unused troops, well, the thing is to get them on the table, my freind, not to sell them off like just so much chattel. :-)Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840039143606577641.post-43054718161627372742018-03-17T05:41:33.708-07:002018-03-17T05:41:33.708-07:00Thanks very much Nathan.

Then we started to play General De Brigade and the size was an attempt to have some difference between nations. Of course in GdA, the designation of small, standard and large gives great flexibility in the unit sizes however I still will attempt to field differing regiment sizes for different nationalities- at least at this stage.Carlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17002425294986020268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840039143606577641.post-85519676046404005552018-03-13T03:58:43.734-07:002018-03-13T03:58:43.734-07:00
