Don't you mean FFD^# 

If you could explain the rules and the integrity points, I'm sure it makes sense, and will Beatle all those other ideas. Is this a Cool-an,d-the-Gang idea to eliminate book keeping? After all, A Rolling Stone gathers no moss...

FOB2 (Field of Battle 2), apart from the the casualties, blows to morale etc sustained by individual units, ticking away in the background is the slow attrition of the formation, each time a unit loses a base 3 integrity points are lost ie one bandsman removed from the base, better than a chit and also a visible sign of the formation's slow reduction. I rather like it, ANYWAY, do you think the bases with/without the command figure look better.

[toxicpixie]

I like the back base better, with the mounted officer waving the band on.

OOM-pah-pah, OOM-pah-pah!

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Course the be a problem wit bands on't table - they take ALL the casualties....

Capital punishment is too good for some of you lot.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

I like them with the command conductor figure.

48 seconds in, can't tell whether its a big dog or a small pony pulling the Pendraken drum cart !

[Techno]

Small horse. 

Was difficult to tell, until I spotted its tail.

Cheers - Phil

LOL, you've got a better monitor than me ! It is the cart though.
