Tried it. Really like it. Good concepts there. I wish the battalions stayed in formation, but I appreciate the direction it's heading in. I also think the battle maps should use the Aegean terrain assets, but hey. 

"Fortune favours the Bold"

I feel that deeply, I've also had passions wither and die because the enthusiasm for them just wasn't being realised or cared for and in the end i was just doing it for myself, It's a tough one but never give up! even if it is on a small scale there are still people who appreciate what you do.

Your concepts are better and riskier than the base game. By riskier, I mean bolder.
