Great AAR.

Are you using my book for reference? https://www.perry-miniatures.com/product_info.php?products_id=3475

I'm working on the second volume and it will be more focused on the expeditions and I'll try to include a campaing module or a guide.

Here's a draft of the cover:

Hi Nuno, looking forward to your new book. Yes we have used many of the scenario's from the book with a great deal of sucess, as this was last minute I threw it together.

Great. Would appreciate feedback and suggestions to improve the scenarios.

Cheers

Aly,

Maybe you could convince Alan and Michael to do some Portugese figures - the only ommissions in the range from my perspective.

I've tried to convince Michael to do them and other stuff but he said the workload for other projects is too much. We'll have to wait. :(

Hi Mark...
Pretty much what Nuno said...
I am sure Michael will get around to updating the range, it think it is one of his favourites.


All the best. Aly

A great AAR. Myself am thinking to do some Carlists, but if I decided to do so I will use Sharp Practice 2. It is more manegeable, numbers of figures wise!

Just seen that myself and pre-ordered it. I dont think it will be as good as the Perry's publication but it all helps.
