Even our navy struggles with the idea. That's why eight of the F35s on the big flat boat are RAF and the other 10 are USMC.

Absolute Emperor - Osprey's latest rule offering. Sounds like what I've been looking for. Nappyleonics for Ayton 2022?

I am thinking of getting them as well. I am also going to give Neil Thomas Napoleonic rules a run out soon.

Plenty of reviews out and WI did a useful youtube video. I liked the smaller army compositions. It sounds a really simple set. Neil Thomas' rules work for anything, do you have his Napoleonic Rules book? Might have a copy you can have.

Just bought my first ever painted figure. A Prussian officer from a guy on ebay who sells painted Perry command stands. £18 seemed reasonable, will see what the paint job comes back like? Cant be worse than mine.

Some clear acrylic "stadium" (ie pill) bases for my Coastal Patrol flotillas (flotillae?) from Fluid 3D Workshop, who kindly answered a load of questions and sent me some samples.
