Play Test of WoFun Peninsular Rules: The Basic Rules

French Skirmishers screening a French Attack Column.

Every once in a while it pays off to check the Drafts Folder. Here is a battle from 2021 when my friend Tom (The best darn pilot in the Galaxy) and I were playtesting the WoFun Peninsular Rules with the French and British starter sets. I have long since lost the notes to the battle though I remember that the British pulled out a win. We went with minimal terrain and the game was fun, fast and furious. I especially like using measuring sticks and casualties are removed by base once the accumulate enough hits.  The use of cotton balls (smoke) helps keep track of who fired - and looks cool! This post is the unedited, pictures displayed in order version and I do recommend the rules.

You can almost hear the bagpipes as the 60th Rifles form a skirmish line.
