Looks cracking. How did you display the parachute forces in 1744? Local uprisings?

I did consider having a balloon the game but thought it would be too complicated.

You also have to remember that all British maps lie. Somerset is 3 times the size it is shown as, and takes 3 times as long to traverse!
