    I love the way you play these games, focussing on the fun aspects and not stressing over the results. You also show well how the rules work in each period you play. Well done.

      Thank you, George has a great collection and together we really enjoy these battle reports, so glad others do too 👍🏻
      Hopefully we will get some more in soon, maybe some more ACW.
      Thanks again

    Lovely looking table and armies. I’m going to give this period a go using 6mm miniatures and the ‘Live Free or Die’ rules.

      Excellent news, 6mm is a bit small for me, but George would say Gods own scale as he loves it!
      Great period to try 👍🏻
      Good luck and thanks for the positive comment 😊

    Never seen Black Powder in action before. Is it an I Go You Go system? I have a bit of an aversion to IGYG. Have you ever tried alternate activations by unit?

    • @theministryofminiatures
      @theministryofminiatures  10 місяців тому

      Hi, yes it’s an IGYG, it actually works quite well as the game play is fairly fast paced and so the gameplay swaps over fairly quickly.
