I'd dearly like to see more 2mm buildings for Northern/ Central Europe, and the Netherlands - which would of course lead to towns, which would lead to sieges.... which would probably lead to insanity! <br /><br />Thanks again for the great comment!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279786472578722137.post-26846074331914555122017-10-27T18:15:52.541+01:002017-10-27T18:15:52.541+01:00Thanks Scrivs!!Thanks Scrivs!!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279786472578722137.post-90665705394776098622017-10-27T18:15:42.781+01:002017-10-27T18:15:42.781+01:00Thanks Mark!Thanks Mark!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3279786472578722137.post-86435153381902925172017-10-27T18:15:32.359+01:002017-10-27T18:15:32.359+01:00Thank you so much for the kind words!

Your line (or your enemy's) starts to fray, them crumble and then the damn breaks and the main challenge is to drag your forces away before the morale costs escalate.

I do completely agree with the way morale should be represented gradually - with one or two men running at first, some minor disorder, then men beginning to stream to the rear before buckling and breaking, but I've always used counters for that in 2mm.
