A couple of years ago I acquired two armoured Pandas from Buff. Always intending to use them in a Dragon Rampant Army. Because of the current isolation I was perusing the net and realised that that game, Wrath of Kings, appears to be dead and there's very little to be had to match the Pandas, especially in the UK.
So when I found the wargames equivalent of a lucky dip I was already fired up enough to click 'buy' without any thought. Especially as the price being asked was a quarter of that being asked by resellers in the States and I like a bit of a gamble.
Fingers crossed the plain cover Kickstarter bonus add ons will have something useful in it :D

All decent rationalisations of a rules mechanism. I expect that the intention is to keep the best units around longer.
In play artillery won't dominate given the time it takes to reload. Players have to note down whether the load is shot or canister but they don't reveal it until they fire. Charging a loaded gun is potentially very painful.

Yes, that seems like a plan.

You've omitted 2mm, 3mm, 12mm, 20mm, 28mm, 40mm and 54mm. Obviously.

You've got a fair bit of cross-belt work still to do on those, mate.....

It was a commission paint job, French Revolutionary war period, but basically imaginations. He lost heart when I complained he hadn't done all the button holes and got a bit irate when I mentioned that they all had blue eyes and i'd requested hazel :D
