It was indeed, I wanted to see how the rules Field of Battle would handle the Anglo Sikh War and I wanted to take notes.
Also, as the intention was to do only what the Generals did on the day it saved me from saying to my opponent No, you cannot do that. Ranjodh Singh didn't do that, the sort of thing which would have spoiled the fun.
I originally got into the Sikh Wars simply because I really liked the Steve Shaw 15mm figures from Feudal Castings. I really didn't know much about it and now it's a major gaming interest. That's mostly down to the recent scholarship of Amarpal Singh Sidhu whose two books on the first and second wars really opened up the period to me.
