Very nice, great with the backdrop.

The Mat came from Terrainmat.com and is 48"x48" , you could also check out Hotz Mats.

Excellent stuff Ryan thanks for this. Barrel of Rum for you old boy.

Thanks all, the way I use the compass dice is roll one for initial direction then each turn re-roll if new direction within one point of difference then wind indicator is adjusted. However maybe...

Fred, Credit for the French tactics goes to Capt Monsieur Neil Bruce, though if you look at the relative point values they are the same ie Spartiate equals both Hermione and Unite so I guess they...
