Butterflies, Beavers and Salmon - I woul...Hi Ross,<br /><br />Butterflies, Beavers and Salmon - I would really struggle to find a better description of that most odd of creatures: Vir Bellator Venatus.<br /><br />I would have to agree with Bob C although I probably have a sprinkling of Salmon thrown in for good measure.<br /><br />The rules look entertaining and darn it if that is not the main reason for doing what we do!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-2643095164643876352011-09-22T08:18:58.132-03:002011-09-22T08:18:58.132-03:00Thanks you gentlemen.

Just wondering if all the little frills and the bits to make it "more realistic" are needed or indeed if some are counter productive. <br /><br />Tony, I wish I'd thought of dramatic leaps.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-56306089362610300032011-09-22T05:05:03.268-03:002011-09-22T05:05:03.268-03:00Ross - I like it. I was surprised with the salmon,...Ross - I like it. I was surprised with the salmon, though it's spot-on - I was expecting something given to dramatic leaps, though now I come to think of it salmon leaps are part of what you describe.<br /><br />I think, on balance, I turned into a wargaming beaver, though I would have been depressed if I'd foreseen this in 1970-whatever.<br /><br />I was looking at your cut-down rules - simple to the point of elegance, but I suspect you will run into the edges and have to add frills. I was reading through, thinking if it was me I'd reduce the line march rate to 6", make 1 hex = 6" and put the cells back in. And I think I'd toy with the idea of re-introducing some activation dice to cut down the amount of traffic, and then.... <br /><br />And then, of course, I'd have to cut the rules down again.<br /><br />TonyMSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-76243034362280091342011-09-22T03:27:47.242-03:002011-09-22T03:27:47.242-03:00Ross Mac,

I think that I am a beaver with butterfly tendancies ... or is that a butterfly with beaver tendencies?<br /><br />The rules are even more stripped down the the ones that I started with. I am looking forward to reading how they work.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-39546784989378238912011-09-22T00:38:51.032-03:002011-09-22T00:38:51.032-03:00A nice, concise set of simple rules, sir.
Of cour...A nice, concise set of simple rules, sir.<br /><br />Of course I immediately see changes I want to make for MY gaming . . . *grin* . . . just like a typical wargamer, eh?<br /><br />I must remember the adage "if it ain't broke; don't fix it".<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171345165563779232noreply@blogger.com
