Thank you both for the kind offers of a lift It seems that the hooptie is going to be out of action until at least Wednesday - will not know cost until Monday A lift would be nice, as I'm playing tango it would make more sense if Paul picked me up. tango could I trouble you to make available both forces as I've only 3 units based and reading the rules so that I can run the game is a high priority this week-end. I will write out the roster sheets for a Danes v Swedes conflict using appropriate (keeping it small) campaign forces

Played a trial game
must remember this
When making a roll in the game, you need to roll less than or equal to the number required. Each result of "0" should be treated as "10".Thus Armour saves work like this
You have a hit to save and your armour value is '4' -- you been either shoot at at long range by a bow or ran though by a peasant with a pitchfork with weapon effectiveness of -1, your armour save is 5 or under
You have fought against pikes and your wearing some more armour say a 5 and the weapon effectiveness of the pike is 1, take the 1 from your armour and you need to roll 4 or less to cancel the hit.
Cossack rabble with armour value of 2 get caught in the open by charging winged hussars (weapon effectiveness 3) there is no save as 2 - 3 = minus 1. There is no natural "one" score to save you so place the appropriate number of casualties markers and for every 3 hits put a base back in the box.
We have toys and will play again - each time getting more of it right.

Just a thought on a scenario using the transport with the cavalry to reach the fortified village through enemy infantry.
