What is it about these simple, straightforward set-ups that attract the eye so much more effectively than more elaborately painted and prepared troops and terrain? <br />I suspect, too, that not only was it a lot of fun, but at the end of the day you were left with the feeling that your boys had been in a fight.<br />Fantastic!Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-482288536688436146.post-30017308229709302042010-04-29T05:28:57.833-07:002010-04-29T05:28:57.833-07:00Ross, that was AFTER the Saving Throws... :-(

THE guns a little less effective.<br /><br />Peter, the rules are a work in progress. That means tbey were bodged together over a couple of hours, from half-remembered books last read mnay tears ago. Once I have them tidied up, I'll post you the .doc file.<br /><br />The Wise ACW rules, if you mean those in the Airfix books, make me shudder to think of them. Too much like hard work. <br /><br />And fixed Combat Results tables...? No thanks!<br /><br />chrissie<br />xxPoacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729018997149272797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-482288536688436146.post-69296904226980870782010-03-21T07:02:51.265-07:002010-03-21T07:02:51.265-07:00Hey Poach and John, that looks a cracking & en...Hey Poach and John, that looks a cracking & enjoyable game, good write up and pics too.
