Some of our men enlist from having got bastard children — some for minor offences — many more for drink; but you can hardly conceive such a set brought together, and it really is wonderful that we should have made them ...

I’ve finished the rules section, which seems solid, and am into the last half of the book which discusses the different wars that the rules cover, special rules for representing special unit characteristics and the appendices.
