I might up the quality of the Anglicans, at least for some - make a "commanders reserve" sort of thing of the their best troops (WW1 veterans, the most enthusiastic, stiffened by some regular army cadre  - whatever rationale you want), so you have say two units with a HQ & six militia with a Vickers each, then three Regulars under the CO. Means the Royalist still out quality them but they have a few less units to clutter up the table with and a decent quality mini-force within their ranks.

Okay version 2:


UnitNumberCostTotal Cost
Royalists
CO (CV9)1120120
Infantry (Regulars)440160
ISupport Unit MG24080
BUF
HQ (CV7)13030
Infantry (Militia)620120
14510


UnitNumberCostTotal Cost
Anglicans
CO (CV8)19090
Infantry (Militia)620120
Support Unit MG (Militia)340120
HQ (CV8)16060
Infantry (Regulars)340120
14510

One rule change is to make the Anglican MG Support Units fragile, the same as their accompanying Infantry.

That should give you plenty to get a game going with that won't take too long and is easily upgradeable :)

Decent CV's mean most should be doing something each turn, although the BUF might be best deployed somewhere the Anglicans have to fight them. No tricky things that require multiple moves ;)

There is free access Neil, which should allow you to see it.

It needs to be activated - Pete used to do that if you emailed him and confirmed you'd bought the rules, but I guess it's in the hands of Leon now!

Unfortunately we don't have the ability to do that, so there's currently no free access.  I've looked through everything in the Admin panel of the BKC site and couldn't find any magic button for the free access, so I've always assumed it was a code hack that Pete used to do.  Luckily, we've only had a handful of queries about it, as with the rules being unavailable for a while there aren't many people who hadn't already claimed it before we took over.

I suspect then it's a setting on the individual user account on the site?

My paid access expired middle of last year, for instance, but I just reverted back to "basic" free access.

I'd be happy to take a look if you like. Server set-up and support used to be my bread and butter until I gave it up to do training/teaching instead. These days I just look after my own servers and the site for The British Fantasy Society.

Someone will have received an enquiry from me about access earlier.

Once it was up and running within in the site, I'd assume it'll keep going as is for each user.  But looking at each person's individual profile, there's no button for me to grant them anything.

I got your email earlier today and was about to send a similar email to my post above.  People can still buy the Battlegroups as normal and that's all automated to grant you the full access, we just don't have any way of giving the free access through the BKC site.   

The Battlegroups feature is being overhauled ready for the new rules, so we should have a new version of it ready to deploy early next year I'm hoping.

No worries. I have a nice little spread sheet built up now that works well. I may, as a learning exercise, write some software to allow me to build AVBCW from Nik's data. I need to design a new exercise for my students, so this would kill two birds with one stone.

If you've paid for the book, then you automatically get free access. If you've bought it second hand, then no.

So, following on from my first game of BKCII last week and having picked up my various figures orders at Warfare, I've tweaked my army lists a little. A revised spreadsheet can be found at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18aaZ5EgLSFg-Snpw9JJ0kIKP2MdntK-9S05kuccwTz8/edit?usp=sharing

Major changes are more infantry stands, less MG supports and and some vehicles. Have added minimal AT capability to the two sides to tackle the armour.

Going to freeze the lists for now and get on with painting and basing the figures.

(Added the list as a PDF attachment as well)

Well, looks a pretty good start to me Neil. The right sort of ratios of support weapons to infantry. Look forward to seeing how they come along.
