I'll ask Aly for you as I'm not sure how often he pops into this forum.Darkman wrote:Hi All
Reading the article about Little wars that Aly Morrison did at Partizan in WI last month and was interested in what changes he made so that he didn't use match firing guns. Not that I have anything against the guns but thought it might make for an easier intro game for players new and old. Also I have a hangering to buy shiny soldiers. (don't tell the missus)
Does anyone have any contact or know what the amendments were. I have searched but not come up with anything.
Thanks
I think Aly and a number of others had looked at buying match firing guns but seemingly they go for crazy prices.Darkman wrote:Thanks David.
Bit disappointed but never mind. Have to see if I can think up something more in line with HGW's ideas. Other than buying any matchstick firing gun I can find. Steve
Well, that's tickled me .AlyMorrison wrote: Someone did suggest using cotton buds , this does seem like the safer (If less martial) method .
Let me know how you get on.
All the best. Aly
How about rolling marbles from the front of each gun? the bigger the gun the more marbles and range would take care of itself as the target would be harder to hit.Darkman wrote:Hi Aly
Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that you had used the Little wars rules as written but found a mechanism for artillery fire without the match firing guns.
One concept I am looking at is coins. Toss 4 coins per gun say, opponent calls the face to miss, all hits are tossed again until they miss. Reduction in number of coins for range or cover maybe. That would fit in with little wars concept more I think. Other ideas would be welcome.
