A big 'Thank you' to Chainsaw for some very productive discussions regarding this oft-neglected formation.

Thank you! Now i can play as my favorite unit, the 2nd Essex! "The Pompadours"

Were you not putting together a scenario/campaign featuring the 2nd Essex?

[Chainsaw]

Yes, to be precise: trying to learn how to!

Right now I'm trying to get the hang of AI plans, waiting for CMBN 2.0 with the overlay feature to do the maps. meanwhile Im doing the research for the scenarios.

By the look of it right now it will be a 6 mission campaign, thinking of splitting up Tilly-Sur-Seulles to a 2 mission mission, same with Bois de St German, then it will be a 8 scenario campaign.

"With the Pompadours through France"
