==================== ##### ====================

Note -- I have provided names for all of the "British" because these forces are for a campaign. I want the players to become attached to their men so that they become "attached" to their forces . . . and don't throw troops away in fruitless efforts . . . in other words, to behave as field commanders would.

  1. Looks great Jeff.

    By the way I'm not sure how attached Britsh officers were to their men at this time - unfortunately a lot of fruitless efforts spring to mind.

    Coincidentally "fruitless effort" sums up much of my gaming ;0)
