This could change my whole basing style😱
Still got plenty in Chester but they ran out a few months back. It may just be a local thing. I'll get a bag full on Wednesday just to be safe.

Well that’s comforting. I was chatting with Neanderthal and he has no problem getting them in Essex. I wonder why Scotland seems to have a problem with supply. I think I need a talk with Mr Wilko.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

A decent brief would always advise to use the 'only for personal use' defence.

Tempted by L'art de la bibliotech saussison guerre.

Pros: Dbx basing. Like DbA but bigger armies. No endless companion books. 2 page ref sheet included. 300 army lists.

Cons: Why not just play DbA? Or Neil Thomas rules. Another rule book. £30 plus postage.

So like the Big Battle DBA outlined in the DBA 3.0 rulebook?
Which also has over 100 pages of army lists.

In their last sale a few weeks ago I bought The Welsh at war (3 volumes) and wargames scenarios for the Peninsular war
