10mm has the advantage of being much better in detail than 6mm while
still
being small enough for a small table. I just thought I'd mention it,
though. I
thought of 10mm myself, but I'm leaning towards 6mm.

If you can wait a little bit, I'll put that on my list of next projects
for my
web site. It should be up in a week or so. Otherwise, I can e-mail you a
copy
in Word 97 format right now (when it's on the web I'll have it as a Word
doc
and a PDF... maybe a Palm OS doc file, too; I'm not sure an HTML version
would
be all that useful).

I need folks to playtest it. I gave it out to a number of people last
year,
but this version has undergone a substantial re-write. Some of the
formation
stuff is simpler, and I've added better artillery rules. Artillery was a
real
bear. The basic rules include round shot and canister, while the
advanced
rules include case shot and spherical case shot.

If you can wait, I'll post a message to the list when it's up.
Otherwise, I'll
e-mail you the Word file.
