On The Trail Of The Red Herring

I'm enjoying the streamed adventure very much!

Our own group is enjoying continuing characters as well.

Did you use stats of companies in the book, or roll-you're-own?

Yes and no.

Some players used companies direct from the book.

I composed a couple of lists (e.g. Hassan's) using stats from the book but collecting them into a custom company. Thus e.g. Hassan's company is a compilation of Explorer and Tong lists.

Some players fine-tuned their troops using the build rules, but I don't think anyone has built their list totally from scratch so far. E.g. the cowboys soon ditched their overpriced horses when they figured out the nags can't swim.
