Epic looking game Giles! The table looks grand. :)

That’s quite a spread Giles, and it was nice of Mrs Shappers to let you boys play indoors  ;)
The table looks lovely with the fields and hedgerows. Good old Dunelm.
But I confess, all those little bits of paper accompanying each unit would drive me mad, detracting from the effort you’ve put into the beautiful visual appeal. I’ve been seeing quite a lot of this in game reports here recently and I find it quite distressing  lol
Is there any way of keeping the stats OFF the table in these rules?

Thanks Richard - sadly the bits of paper were essential. Not only did they list the regimental name but also their stats - without them it would have been chaos. For my game it was a compromise between aesthetics and playability. We don't usually do this.
