Attached is an extract from the, as yet, unpublished Volume 4 of A Seven Years Wargame Campaign, which may be of some interest to any of your readers who are considering mainland European operations in the Seven Years War. The ratio used was approximately 54 to 1, and the rules were Age of Reason, with some modifications. The figures, in 15mm scale, consisted primarily of Essex castings, with a large minority of Old Glory and some 'Heinz' battalions (57 varieties). The number of units was calculated by taking the total number of men and subtracting total artillerymen, then dividing by 12. Named officers have not been counted in Army Totals at any stage. With regard to the actual data, the Russian Northern, Central, and Southern armies refer to positioning on the westward march of the whole army, i.e. the total of the three subdivisions (77 units). In the Austrian army lists, '(H)' represents "Hungarian" regiments. I trust that some of your readers may get some use from this, and might I, in conclusion, add just one more small voice to the almost universal approval of your magazine, and thanks for your part in its production.
