Re: Italian campaign army lists
This prompts me to ask a question that has puzzled me for a couple of years. I'm also interested in the Italian campaign, especially Anzio.

9th Century Bishops
I have an Essex figure of a "mounted bishop" with the cloak and broad brrimmed hat. Probably meant for the 12th century but does anyone know if it is appropriate for the 9th century? TIA

Re: Hyperthetical Fourth Afghan War, 1924 ish
The Summer 2010 Special has a couple of articles on similar matters. They're meant for M&B but might provide ideas and might even be capable of conversion to CoC. Good luck.

Re: War of the roses, SP v2
What a piece of work! I'm impressed by your expertise! Being a typical gamer, it's now time to get greedy. Have you considered how to include war wagons in your system?

This is from Nafziger and appeals to my affection for German armored cars, especially the Sdkfz 233 armored cars. 1 Armored Car Company 18 ...

Re: German Mixed platoons and Senior Leaders
