Ooh sounds good!

A key figure in the development of the hobby and like others here my own introduction to wargaming. Sadly missed, but his work will stand as his epitaph.

Thanks Clarence,
More games to follow - pics too if we can get the lights sorted!!

Hi, Hope I can help. 1) see page 3 "Manouver". Units can change facing or formation. If they change facing by up to 45 degrees they may make a half move. 2) the rules don't specify when you fire. The example on page 8 shows a unit moving then firing however. 3) we play that a unit may about face but...

Our first game was a battle between Scottish Covenanters backing the interest of their countrymen in Ulster and the Irish "rebels" under O'Neil. That battle itself saw the two sides face off on open moorland with a farm on one flank and forest on the other. The scots deployed in regular formation wi...

Folks,

The b...

Top work there.

Any plans for something more central ?

After playing VWQ again last night, I'm looking forward to see how you have approached a card driven skirmish game.

Appetite whetted!

Westfalia are now available via Empress miniatures too.

I believe you are confusing Time Commander which made use of computer gaming similar to the "Total War" series of PC games with the Angela Rippon hosted Game of War on ITV. Paddy Griffiths was the umpire for this which did indeed feature blocks of wood being moved around and teams of players decidin...

http://www.battlefieldanomalies.com/port_arthur/05_siege.htm See above link. Also google "Siege of Port Arthur" and check out the images. I've never seen "complex" ww1 style trenches with duckboards and firing steps in anything related to port arthur, but no reason why these wouldn't exist in more ...
