Thirty Years War Game 1

Mike very kindly invited me round for a Thirty Years War (TYW) game with his latest armies - Swedish and Imperialist in 15mm - using his own set of rules.  Myself and Owain took the Imperialists and Mike and Rodge took the Swedes.

Thanks to Mike for an excellent game. The units looked brilliant and the rules are polishing up nicely. 

I've sent an order off to Pendraken to see how many 10mm figures I can fit on a 40x40mm base!
