Too Fat Lardies

Dave Anything will do, both options look interesting to me. I really liked the Hundred Days book format. On another matter, have you given a thought to some form of campaign rules? Since the introduction of the Chain of Command Pint-Sized books my club mates and I only play campaigns, very different...

Beautiful table, What scale did you play?

Wow! Thanks for posting. I almost completely forgot it!!!
