Looks like great fun, really good write-up!

What size table were you using?  I ask because the rule book says 72" x 48", but Fred Machu explained that is a translation error, the correct size is 4' x 3'.

Nice AAR  :-* I'm considering buying the rules and your game definitely makes me think that it will be worth it.

@Ivan DBA  If it helps have played on 3'x3' and works fine, better with 4'x3' The mistranslation was amenace as read rules through at the BoYL16 Oldhammer event at Foundry and initially was put of by 6'x4'but watching demo game and seeing played on 3'x3' caused one to grab it.

@marianas_gamer If your after the game as Wargames Foundry are doing the figure range they now have set packs of miniatures that tie in and offer free postage worldwide over £80 Inc Rule book, which is not bad and with exchange rates can make a good deal. Do recommend. Its a nice game to play in an 1.5 hours so great for a nights gaming.

I have most of the figures from my Pulp Alley games so thought I'd splash out on the rules today.
