Very nice AAR, love the terrain and the minis  :-*

What kind of stats did you use for the opposing forces?

Not too sure what you mean by stats  -

Both troops were regular units

The Army lists were just thrown together - I hate having contrived and balanced forces unless it is a straight engagement

By stats I mean what unit types you used for the forces. Has somebody made Bolt Action army lists for the AVBCW setting?

Sorry I now understand

No army lists exist that I know of

I just threw together the forces randomly

That's the spirit - to Hell with army lists, points and other such corsetry. I commend your approach, Giles....I think most of us can extrapolate from a rule set and make up acceptable lists, forces, sides, scenarios etc....

Oh, I'm all for irregular and unbalanced scenarios and campaigns, just curious what kind of stats were given to each unit type :)

Fair point - looking back at my post on the subject, I came on a bit strong. No offence intended. Looks like we have a similar view anyway. ;)

None take good Sir.

I like the scenario based gaming most, with un-equal forces included into the mix if possible. Makes it all more fun, I think.
