A thick book with the ambitious subtitle offering miniature rules and army guide, written by Pete Berry and Ben Wilkins and published by Partizan Press, this, the third edition, in 2003. Of the hundred or so pages, 36 are devoted to the rules, the rest to army lists, scenarios, historical notes, uniform and flag notes, advertisements, designer’s notes, cartoons, and a recommended reading list, lavishly illustrated with a lot of color and guaranteed to fill in an afternoon.

The authors offer a suggested ground scale 1” = 20 yds., though suggest flexibility. Figure scale is 1 = 33. The rules are written for 25mm and 15mm with a addendum for 6mm. Frontage and depth per figure are 20mm x 20mm and 15mm x 15mm respectively for infantry, 25mmx 40mm and 20mm x 20mm for cavalry though I suspect the 20mm depth should be 30mm.

Units receive orders. Turns are divided into declarations and reactions, movement, fire combat and reaction, close combat, and reaction and rally. Rules are distinctly British with a nod to both WRG and Warhammer and extensive morale considerations.
