I'm not exactly sure when I will start Phase 3 as I promised myself I would finish what I have started with Leval's German Division for the Peninsular War and the planning of a return to an old favorite but in a new scale for me. I'm sure I'll start the Boxer's no later than the beginning of the new year.
