Actually, my wife and I were talking about retirement the other day, which is still a decade off if I go the distance in the CF, and the Valley is high on our list of places to go to, possibly somewhere between Berwick and Wolfville. <br />It would be nice to drop by for a game.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-61723516047981422312012-03-18T11:34:05.143-03:002012-03-18T11:34:05.143-03:00Dave, I will confess to a momentary temptation to ...Dave, I will confess to a momentary temptation to argue that since there was only 1 point of work needed that the Engineer could teach some infantry to finish it but its not good to modify rules in your favour in the middle of a game!<br /><br />In theory, the hits mostly represent pioneers hiding behind the wagon or in the wood as well as a portion of wounded and killed. I'm not sure how many of them would have been real specialists (especially when I think of how long it took them!) A good question to look into but in any event even if there were just a few specialists backed by strong backs, a loss of just a few of the real specialist would be enough to make the company useless so the point remains about a campaign.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-59293198457448088792012-03-18T11:28:18.882-03:002012-03-18T11:28:18.882-03:00Thanks Cesar, I find both the cloth and the Classi...Thanks Cesar, I find both the cloth and the Classic Old School look appealing in different ways but they each need to be consistent to be at their best. The single toy soldier look needs the flat surface but since I am back to flocked bases, the cloth will predominate again for now.<br /><br />Those troops are part of one of my Ohio militia regiments from my War of 1812 collection. They normally fight as close order infantry. I will post some pictures later.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-60442897898963235242012-03-18T11:20:41.245-03:002012-03-18T11:20:41.245-03:00Not to mention the messy bookshelves, One day I...Not to mention the messy bookshelves, One day I'll get it all straightened and organized and hold a guided tour.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-79305349229347002192012-03-18T11:20:02.739-03:002012-03-18T11:20:02.739-03:00It was.."interesting!"
