Hi guys, our Imperial Guard Campaign (see files) will soon be drawing to a close which worked extremely well over the 4 months of playing every week and our...
The rules look great. I've been trying to convince some of the people I game with to get into pirates since they have enjoyed the LOTOW games. Some ideas could...
Very well written, presented and thought out. As for suggestions - I would change hand weapon to Cutlass (what self respecting pirate would be without a...
Ooh Hired guns A Boucaneer - these were French pirates who originally hunted pigs on the islands, they would make a good sniper similar to the buffalo hunter. ...
I really like those ideas -- the rules themselves are, as others have said, very well thought out. One thing that I would like to see added are natives...

Anyone working on something suitable for Mummy-type games [before I start getting the old grey cells active...]? Or anything zombie/monster-related? Nik [like...

Thanks Gav - you're right about those hats! [and the rules look funky too...] I've just seen today in my newly arrived copy of Wargames Journal that there are...

That is pretty cool, thanks for sharing! What did you use for Arthur? I was going to use Anduril to represent Excalibur and a legendary horse of (insert name...
As I recall, I used one of the 12" command radius thingies, Anduril, heavy armour, horse with heavy armour. His stats were good, but I didn't use Mighty Hero,...
