(to misquote an old song)
I've finally had hobby-time but it was quickly obvious that my tastes have developed into a desire for an even more simple, quick playing rules. Despite various domestic interruptions, I have made progress on a new, simpler, quicker playing 16thC rules and had just enough time to play one turn!
Tomorrow's forecast involves rain. Its looking good for finally playing the game to an end.
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.
I will be interested to read how the new rules work for you…

Needs another play through, or more, and to be properly written but I'll post what I've got once I get it typed up.
DeleteI'm sure it'll be worth the wait - is that a balloon top-right?
ReplyDeleteUhm.....yep, wasn't supposed to be there.....
Delete"Rain starts play" (for a change)
ReplyDeleteThat's why I get more games played in the winter.
DeleteLooking forward to the first draft printout.
ReplyDeletePerhaps we other watchers could play-test for you?
Absolutely. That's why I often post current rules if I'm OK with them at the time. (Upper right column )
