OK Chaps,

will be sending out the next iteration today which has several changes which are fairly 'core' to the feel I am trying to develop. Hopefully you can try some of these and give me some feedback.


Regards

Thanks for the suggestion Ray. Will put it in the pot!

Getting some feedback now from the playtest groups which is proving interesting. Hopefully my writing break in Thailand will allow me to develop some of the ideas and feedback further... more soon

Who says rule writing doesn't pay! :wink:
It's a hard life when you have to go to Thailand just to write some rules, just don't get distracted by any of those 'lady boys' looking for a game :lol:

Hi Barry

I hope you are fine. Iwas very excited when I saw you were working on an ACW rule.

I am a very huge ACW fan collecting armies in 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 28mm and 40mm for 30 years. I mostly played JR 1, 2 & 3 but a lot of F&F games as well as Mr Lincoln Wars and some others I can not remember ( the Blue & the Gray but it is ver yold :))

I would be very interested and honored to be able to playtest your rules.

Best wishes

Franck

Hi Barry

I live near Paris in France where I play with a pool of 7 players: they are First Empire interested but I always try to change their mind


Cheers
