No, but I think EB was the origin of the phrase "what happens in Diss, stays in Cleethorpes".

Thought it might be worth copying this across from the old forum so we have a reference for next week :

Each player gets 12 'units', where a unit is:
. an infantry battalion
. a cavalry regiment
. 2 medium guns, or 1 heavy and 1 light, or 3 light
. 2 light infantry units
. a medium gun and a light infantry unit

Given the small size of the table, if you can keep your units to a 200-250mm frontage it would probably be better.

At least half of each force must be infantry battalions
No more than 4 guns
1 superior unit for free, up to 2 more can be upgraded to superior if you downgrade an equivalent number to inferior.

Have you got any scouting troops to avoid being bushwhacked?
