Forces are manoeuvred on each player's gridsheet only until a clash is imminent and then those units involved can be set up on the table. Any troops not visible to the enemy (e.g. behind hill A) o-s can remain concealed by not setting them up on the table. Even during «u 5 g 3 -D the course of the wargame, hidden forces can be left off the table C7.2; Q although their positions will be fixed on the individual player's War- (UtS'E JZ "r: u boards zone. This even enables one player to make covert speculative O 5 2 moves to counter the opponent's probable tactics and this introduces a realistic Ignorance Factor to the game which is easy to operate. qJ a> E -o Ideally, an umpire is present to keep 'an accurate record of both sides' CO "D hidden movements and to rule on precisely when units come into sight. z < Extract from Instruction Booklet m miniatures V 44 Candieriggs, Glasgow G1 ILE Continuing our saga of I5mm figures,we offer some of the very "best figures to come from the hands of Tom Park,As the man say*s,there is more detail in a Tom Park figure than the average 25mm one.
