I really enjoyed your game report, Traveler Man. It looked like a great fun game.
And I not only enjoyed your report itself, but I then went on to lap up page after page of your blog. In particular, I was interested in how you had adapted Sharp Practice for the colonial theatre. I've posted elsewhere on this message board about my own first experience of Sharp Practice a la colonial, British vs Maori in the New Zealand Wars in my case. So I'm about where you were right in your first games with these rules, still testing the water on making them work for the period.
