Hi Jim, no you're not doing anything wrong! At the moment the Membership section is only accessible to myself and the site creator for update and admin purposes. It will at some point be brought online for everyone else. The site has the capability to run an online store, paypal and all that jazz bu...

Re GHQ:On the FOO subject I actually prefer to use a seperate base(platoon) usually in a vehicle and let it move around independently of other units. The FoW system for observation is also quite good whereby the obervers can be attached to other units or not. For support fire from say platoon suppor...

Thanks for that, I might actually pick up a copy. I am not fond of Rapid Fire but felt I had to be reasonably diplomatic about that when I wrote an article comparing it to GHQ MicroArmor for WI. I was pretty curious about the origins of Rapid Fire as there seem to be more - in it that a swiss cheese...

An updated version of ULB will be ready within the week including the rules for capturing colours. Also available will be a quick reference playsheet, movement markers(for printing) and depleted command markers. Links to all of the above will be sent to Subscribers in the usual manner. I have made a...

Sgt Steiner, have a look at GHQ Microarmor rules(I'm always thumping on about them but they are really good even for bigger scales). I'd be intersted in detailed thoughts on Dave Brown's rules as I have played General de Brigade and found them just too detailed causing white light headaches!! Mark, ...

Now if there is one thing I never thought I'd be it's a standard bearer for FoW(so lets clear that up for a start.. I'm not!) but Mark, it IS a game. I was discouraged by such things as 'British Bulldog' and 'Stormtrooper' moves(more the names than the actual principles)but when Pat very helpfully t...

Hi Adam, thanks for the kind words, verz much appreciated. Sedgemoor is scheduled for First Partizan at Newark in late May and I'm not sure where after that. I expect it to be a reasonably compact game as the battle was rather small so mazbe I'll take it along to another couple of shows if the oppor...

A rumour reached me that I am a candidate for the outspoken `Judge' on the Miniatures Page forum re: Angus-Kirriemuir wargames club.

Like I don't have enough to do........

I can think of about half a dozen more likely candidates.

Sorry boys wrong tree.

There have been quite a few requests for the rules so I will resend the link to all subscribers over the next day or so


Cheers

RETRACTION! Today I spent a very enjoyable five hours playing a Flames of War game with Pat Connor and David Imrie. I thoroughly enjoyed it much to my own surprise! The rules are deceptively simple and when you play with someone who knows them reasonably well the logical `thread' is pretty strong. ...

On paper it doesn't sound like dragoons have much going for them but they can be very useful in a game: 1.A rapid advance to hold a position or feature until the infantry arrive. 2. Flanking fire on an enemy advance 3. `Forlorn hope' type activity either by holding an outpost or advanced position(in...

Hi Chris Leach... will send you the link to the rules download when I get home from travels Friday. B Paul, interesting points about the dragoons: What movement difficulties do the accounts specify? is it because of their riding boots? My experience of using dragoons on the table is that they are al...

Yeah Joe, thanks for the link. I have seen pictures of this beautiful diorama before and admire the work greatly. This guy has fantastic ability. As an aside, I was checking out the Bolt Action Miniatures site yesterday and see they are trailing new releases: Polish Infantry and cavalry for 1939! I ...

Dear DisplacedCorkman! glad to see you are abusing Irish taxpayer's money in the same fashion as civil servants all over the world! Buy figures immediately and begin wargaming this splendid period. As for Raparees, one of the first scenarios I ever wrote for this period was called `Crossing the Shan...

Hi Guys, another good question. Let me tell you how these things are normally decided and then I'll make some suggestions for tidying it all up. If a situation arises in our games where a Commander is in jeopardy we have a chat make some decisions and resolve. For instance: 1. General joins melee to...
