Playtests can be useful

 I had a chance to test my 1799 Syrian game today. 

Half way through the game.

By and large I was happy with most bits, but there were a couple of things that hadn't been thought out.  For example, each stand is supposed to be a unit but  4 stands will fit in one square and I hadn't decided on how that would work in practice, especially for melees.  So, I finally stopped the game, started considering the pros and cons to various solutions to the fuzzy bits, and some other things that didn't feel quite right. 

The play test will restart on Sunday.
