Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines

After almost 2 1/2 years under the command of Sergeant Fury, 'A' Company of the 3rd cavalry finally  has an officer!

The reorganization and build up has been proceeding rapidly. I've settled on an organization on the smaller side (8 infantry, 4 cavalry, sharpshooters, artillery) as the best compromise which will get a few more figures on the table but not over crowd.

The small units won't work with the proposed 25% loss morale check so I've ended going back to the venerable "unit fights as ordered till it drops below 1/2 strength" rule used in Charge! and in Big Wars by Stuart Asquith and Jack Alexander. 

I'd almost forgotten how much I used to like playing with (and playing about with) single figures. A scene from the 2016 battle where the new US army troops made their debut:

I feel a battle coming on!
