[madaxeman]

oh yes.

[quackstheking]

I hope I influenced u on the Imperial Spanish there Tim - great cavalry and very solid foot!!!

Don

[madaxeman]

Partly that.. and partly because my relatively small 25mm collection includes figures with Spanish-looking sleeves!

seriously though, having Elite foot in theory allowed me to skimp on Generals, hopefully have 2 units who would be unlikley to break before the end of the game, and to think about standing up to Swiss Kiels and similar I might face.
