Thanks for that.

I'd never heard of Warning Order, but followed the link and had a look.  Seems quite interesting and I've bookmarked it for a more thorough read. 

Orcs came over for an introductory game of Midgard Heroic Battles. https://grahamsgaming.blogspot.com/2025/04/war-of-dwarves-and-orcs-middle-earth.html

I think it was 30, as well.

Cheers - Phil.

Blinds - not having the card come up can be a real pain if you've held some units in reserve as Blinds

Tea Break - short turns are not an issue for the defender as their non-activated units get to shoot, can be very frustrating for the attacker if he is trying to push units forward

As you say the ability to flex the card deck is a really useful

Why thank you Mrs Doyle

Paul,

Hey buddy, good to see you, and thanks!  And yeah, I know (about the scale).

I guess I just have a need to keep painting; I bought and painted every force I could think of in 10mm, then did it in 6mm, then did it in 15mm, now doing it in 28mm... Someone please put me out of my misery

V/R,
Jack

11 turn game, almost won it, but on turn ten a unit failed a morale and fell back away from the open winning objective!
Drat!

Commiserations! But at least you got some last turn drama.

Richardson's Standards and Colors of the American Revolution is considered the foremost work among wargamers at least. Not easy or cheap to get, but older American gamers seem to often have it. I don't have a copy and never got round to painting much AWI so I didn't go to the bother of hunting one down..
Richardson thought he had only covered part of the potential research material and its been 40+ years so maybe lots more is known now. Published is a different story.

You are right to be wary of websites on flags, unless they explain their sources, or their speculations are well founded (which is fine with me).
