I have yet to take action. It's always of interest to see how others manage these issues.<br /><br />As far as your initial point about distance between figures, this is something I stumbled across early on in my rules tinkering/writing. The convention I use for any of my home brew systems is that figures are either in formation or not. If in formation, then all figures are in contact with other figures in the unit (whether it be geometric or something more amorphous depends on the system). Regardless, no individual figure can be closer than 1" from ANY other figure (that includes other formations). I also add the stipulation that formations cannot be closer than 1" to other formations, except in the case of being in contact with the enemy (when two attacking units may need to be closer than that to contact the enemy). So, good find: it works!Ed Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11486985414917229516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-88853683494996734592017-08-22T06:15:05.392-03:002017-08-22T06:15:05.392-03:00Ross Mac,

The problem is that I don't want to go through the weeding-out process!<br /><br />It is something that I MUST do sooner or later. It's just getting up the enthusiasm to do so that is the main problem.<br /><br />Good luck with your plans.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-10186750835964504832017-08-22T03:08:22.044-03:002017-08-22T03:08:22.044-03:00I can relate to the problems of time space, and th...I can relate to the problems of time space, and that real bummer, temptation.

Weight wise probably 1/3..... <br /><br />I don't enjoy it as much as I used to though.
