Interesting.  How does the BP Rally Phase work?  Can you rally disordered?  Does a commander have to be attached to rally, and if so can he give orders in the orders phase?

[Rogerc]

The rally dis-orders we have ot changed, you can only rally this off if you have the Elite special rule with your force.

Rallying casualties is much simpler. At the begining of the turn you attemot to rally casualties off any unit with more than one casualty. Commander does not need to be in base t base. On the roll of a six you rally one casualty off. We are experimenting with good commanders rallying on a 5 or 6. Iniitally this sounded a bit easy but experience has shown that it isnt.

Splendid game pictures, thanks for sharing!
We were given one more time the opportunity to admire your figure collection!
For some reason I'm stuck with the Saxons, but all your units are so well painted with so lively postures and flags waving, beautiful!

Thank you, I have to say I am very pleased with the Saxons too, although I do have several more units to complete;
