First the rules look great, really nice layout.

First question, of course I have not read the rules yet ,but hey that never gets in the way of stupid questions. So here goes, I don't see battalion guns, am I missing something?

Second what about the cheat sheets in pdf format. The way I see it the more people I can get to play, the more rules you will sell. I would also like to see the orders etc in pdf format.

I am using 10mm pendraken at 1/20 and am thinking of using the 28mm move and firing distances, should look and play great.
Thanks For a great job.

Well never mind on the Battlion guns, found them and like the way they are portrayed. Since I am using 10mm figs it wont be an issue putting them in the battalion.

But I am a firm beliver in the Cheet sheets. A good example is when Field of Glory came out I purchased the rules before anyone else at the club, there where nice cheet sheets on the Yahoo board for the rules, which I printed out and had 6 copies. Since the rules came out we have at least 6 guys playing regularly and all of them have purchased the rules. When the slitherine boys put out a really nice pdf of a new cheet sheet with pretty pictures I color printed 8 copies and laminated them. I guess what I am trying to say is please put the cheet sheet out as a pdf it will make it so much easier for me and others to get more gamers to play, and if the same procedure follows as with Field of Glory we will have a bunch of guys buying the rules.

I also have to say I love the 10mm Pendraken figures, at 1/20 I will be mounting them in half division which will make 8 bases for each battalion both the Austrian and Prussians used a 4 company structure on the battlefield, so it will be 4 figure or 6 figure bases. I am also making a command stand with one mounted officer two drummers and two standard bearers. This will only be visual element and I have thought of using it to indicate who moved full and who moved half or less. The officer stand in front of the unit to show it moving and not being able to fire (not the prussians) then behind the unit to show that it cannot fire since it moved more than half. I am also mounting, behind the two ranks of figures one per two bases an officer with spontoon to keep the boys moving forward. It should look good, I will post some photos when I finish a unit.

Thanks I had actually prined those out a week or two ago and had forgotten them.

That being said I would still like to see the ones in the rules, they are only one sheet and "look" better. I would also like to see the order markers as a pdf.

Dear All,

Playsheets (Cheatsheets)
Well, we've found a few typos on the 25mm version (it wouldn't be a Partizan Press product without 'em)! Consequently I've talked the publishers into redoing the playsheets, which I'll post on my wargaming website (and on here) until a revised version comes out with the first scenario book.

10mm Pendraken
I'm a dyed in the wool 28mm player, but I spoke to "Eclaireur" over the weekend, and he'd going down the same route as you - big 10mm units! It should look spectacular...

Best Wishes,

Flikr, old chap,

You'll find 'em on my wargaming website (www,edinburghwargames.com). For the official Caliver Books version, you'll have to wait until the Scenario Book comes out, which at this rate probably won't be until just before Christmas.
