It's been a real pleasure to re-visit the evolution of your ideas and I have enjoyed your style of writing very much.<br /><br />I've been inspired to dig out my own ACW troops and look critically at them in the light of what you've been writing. <br /><br />Many thanks,<br /><br />GregOld School ACWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11369037773861715360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-73421802032819834392015-01-03T12:16:13.443-04:002015-01-03T12:16:13.443-04:00Thanks Mike.Thanks Mike.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-79878152271294192182014-12-30T08:14:18.195-04:002014-12-30T08:14:18.195-04:00That's a very fine looking table Ross.

The look would change but the game would not. and it all goes back to the Portable Wargame really.

It has the feel of a much larger game than it actually is (in terms a figure numbers and table size), and is visually very impressive. As you know, I am trying to produce my own set of basic rules that can be quickly and easily adapted to a range of different historical periods, and your progress continues to encourage me to pursue my goal.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.com
