Besides which if you've "rescued" him from "the clutches of the evil schemers"
that also turned up to "imprison or kill" him, I'm sure he'll be very
grateful, and quite willingly follow any "suggestions" you might give.

It'd make a splendiferous barracks. It sets the standard for the other
locations though. White and yellow are nice common colours too so we might
even get some colour schemeing going.

Drat, I was hoping for the send me lego :)

I'm happy to do it (referee that is). The helping will happen too. I'll set up
the blank excel sheet I had last game again and put it on my site along with
some notes about how one might go about accounting.
As a rough guide you'll be getting somewhere around 30 men or if they're on
horses 20 (a fully equiped footman is about 10pts, horseman 15) for your
300pts. Cannon are 10 points, cannonballs are 2pts each.
The best way is probably to get together what feels like the right amount of
stuff, then tally it up, then add/remove elements to balance the books.

The neatest solution will be to just declare that the bayonets are already
part of the musket (add 1 to their cost). However the armoury will continue to
work on other solutions as soon as I'm in the same location as my lego (3-4
weeks :( :( :( )
James (who can feel a mini dark age coming on, good sets next year please!)
