That is, for WWII etc or if their are reinforcements arriving, I'll add them but don't for ancients. <br /><br />There's a few extra ones in the Chrysler's Farm game where I hadn't fully cleaned off a preceding game. <br /><br />I had some fun games with Storm of Steel back around 2002/3. Haven't checked them recently. <br /><br />-RossRoss Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-44820736248464076522011-02-15T19:29:33.318-04:002011-02-15T19:29:33.318-04:00Hi Ross,

Is that right?<br /><br />Referring back to your teaser-translator post (and thanks again for that), when you are doing a WWII scenario and the map shows no roads, do you play it that way or add what seems reasonable road-wise?<br /><br />I am kicking around the idea of running that scenario as you sent it, but not with my busted Soldiers East rules. I might try Storm of Steel or Keith Barker's Panzer8 set (http://www.littlewars.se/panzer8/index.html) or Blaze Away (http://www.blazeaway.com.au/Rules.html) -- or one of the other dozens of downloaded sets I have considered from time to time.<br /><br />Thanks again.<br />Say rowr-rrr to Hector for me.<br />JohnThe Ferrymenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741552972862333515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-16688794551651744752011-02-15T10:12:58.258-04:002011-02-15T10:12:58.258-04:00Thanks Conrad, At times I'm a bit embarrassed ...Thanks Conrad, At times I'm a bit embarrassed at the dilapidated state of some of the bits but overall I like to think of it as Old School simplicity and improvisation touched by a natural messiness. <br /><br />After all, nature is never neat.<br /><br />-RossRoss Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-46942420868247513542011-02-15T00:21:17.920-04:002011-02-15T00:21:17.920-04:00Not an unalloyed success for the Irish - but stirr...Not an unalloyed success for the Irish - but stirring stuff nonetheless. I'm always impressed by the look of your battlefields Ross, a good combination between clutter and playability. I may have to look into some scatter myself.Conrad Kinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683395740934527502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-23663915379648748842011-02-14T17:04:14.767-04:002011-02-14T17:04:14.767-04:00That looks to have been a good game Ross.

In a bit of a rush for now, so I'll try to have a proper read of this post later in the week.Tim Gowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561988214539953646noreply@blogger.com
