There is an entry in my blog which gives some background information about the 1798 campaign (units, uniforms etc.): http:...

Would have loved to meet you, Shandy. Although our miniature ranges do not overlap (I play 28mm Napoleonics), we could have had some nice games. Well, the times they are a changing.. Thanks for hinting me to the lead adventure forum. I am about to join there and have a look around. best, Maerk http:...
