I've no desire to trash the rules: they just aren't a good fit for me.
I also don't eat crab, prawns or lobster so what would I know?

Oh, I got that some years ago & didn't love it so I use our home-groan rules. BTW I found an Index for GdA. Composed by some fan, it runs to 3 pages. I downloaded it some time ago & forgot I had it. I also forget where it came from......some blog? I started to search & will get back to y...

There's a SYW version? Where? When? How.....

Embankment might be the go. Have you thought about using paper sheets with a stone pattern for the bottom bits? The sort of thing you buy, fairly cheaply, from model train shops.

2019's project for our little group was the ECW. The "year" culminates in a 2 day game at the local Hobby & Train Show - we've been doing this for 13 years now. We elected to do a "what if" battle: The Battle of Auchtentoshan which featured Montrose's Scots and the army of th...

Amusingly, the people of Sydney are currently freaking out because the discovery of a 2.5 metre snake skin indicates someone has let loose a boa constrictor. Living in the roof space of our old house (we moved 3 months ago) was a 4 metre carpet snake. I miss the old devil (he's been coming for at le...

It's very encouraging to see you lot haven't changed.

Regrettably I play solo ( another innuendo?) so I'm probably not the best to ask about the nuances of a reserve brigade. Have you posed the question on the GdeA forum or Lard forum?I'd be interested in the responses Being anal, unlike most wargamers (!!), I actually have a written list of questions...
