Nice clean report, and an interesting development with the escape rather than death of one protagonist.

Will you be doing a what if kind of variant with that alteration, or continue with each battle based on the historical outcomes, as standalone refites, rather than a changing narrative/campaign?

To Keep things simple we are just playing out each battle - this is not a campaign

+1!  :-* Fab layout and even if it was a bit of forgone conclusion it's always interesting to play out historical scenarios  8)

I have a bad case of prescient nostalgia. The future's not what it used to be.
