Finally gave in and starting an Army for this as I have at least 1 army for most PP rulesets.

I am sure I have bought the rules and have them but sure cant find them anywhere so its possible I haven't..... yet.

I have already bought the troops for the basic 4 units of 11 bases including a command base (Sombrero boys and girls). 3 Mg bases and 2 field guns.

Can someone remind me of what the other extras are so I can get another order in to bring Martin's retirement closer or at least more comfortable!

Cheers

Moggy - what's all this about encouraging Martin to retire?  :o

Notwithstanding this, I often refer to the helpful confirmation emails that the PP workshop send out to remind myself what I've bought. Then it's "only" a question of finding said article. Or else buying it again, but in the full knowledge that it's a duplicate / back-up.

Helpful as always Simon but have a vague recollection of buying the rules at a show. Have been through the inbox and Gamming directory and nothing there.

Still a helpful list of what the possible extras are would make me grateful so I can plan my next purchase.  :)

Derek,

The allowed extras will depend to some extent on the army that you are building.

I suggest you buy a PDF version of the rules. They will come quickly, with no postage, and will be a useful back-up to the hard copy if you find it again :)

I don't have the rules to hand. But basically three field guns,three MGs, plus around 13 extra infantry bases and 14 extra cavalry bases of cavalry would give you all options  but I don't think you can get all of that into an army.

Oh, bombers as well...blokes with dynamite. 3 bases from memory.

I really need to take this to my club as I haven't played in a while.

Christmas is coming. And though he didn't say which Christmas I might get it, Martin has promised a character pack for Pancho Villa and Zapata if I'm a good boy. 😉

That's quite a big "if", Sean  ;D

Thanks Sean. All I was asking for. Not sure about 3 field guns as its usualy a pair but.... :/.   Helps me with my next shopping list.

I thought that the Peter Pig videos would help here.

But I see that there are none for MexRev listed on the PP website. Have they been kidnapped?

The 3 field guns comes as follows:

2 field guns is one addition

Another addition is 1 gun and 4 mounted

A further addition is 1 gun and infantry.

Must admit, this is why I now have a tendency to buy the Rules as a printed copy and a PDF backed up to my Google Drive.
I can always read them one way or another ?
