The Undeclared War

This morning I finished up the 12 figure company of Compagnies Franches.

After lunch............

This is pretty much what the game felt like.

I'll give a more detailed report tomorrow but apart from some wording issues on movement restrictions everything was just fine. I'm going to be quite happy to update the rules as the 20th anniversary edition of With MacDuff to the Frontier. Technically the publication anniversary is late summer next year so there is time for more testing and maybe even some proofreading.

More importantly, the mix of fully round and semiflat homecast figures worked quite well for me so I won't need to upset my NQSYW world just to accommodate the new molds. The new French and British figures, once released, will go to the newly announced MacDuff in Acadia collection.

At last, figures that can use my magnetic trays! If the new figures look a little blurry that's partially because the photo is but also because I didn't notice until I was priming that while most of the heads came out perfectly, a couple of them cast up without much of a nose. I had spares on hand if I'd just noticed before gluing but I wasn't going back.
