Regimental Scale Supplement: (Version française disponible)

This is a supplement to the original Brigade level rules. These are supplementary and adaptions of the rules for using a 'regiment', usually about 2 battalions, as a game unit rather than around 4 battalions for a unit in the original rules. They give more detail to the game and allow smaller real battles to be fought than are possible with the orgiinal set.

The supplement includes the battle of Clostercamp, 1760 scenario in both Regimental and Brigade scale.

This is available in both English and French but only as a PDF. The original rules are required to use this supplement.
