Hi Lt Chard and Wayne peered over the sturdy (naughty!) parapet. The cart, had been regularly maintained by the RE detachment, and so was in good condition. ...
Chard and the private run back, and with Bromhead, Adendorf and Witt gaze out in wonder at the infernal machine that has been loosed on the Queen's Enemies....

... No - it elminates arguments. If you want "more subtlety" - you need to increase the resolution of the matrix. The games only work (by which I mean avoid...
Hi One problem I think we have is visualising what is going on. I for the life of me can not understand how the waggon was made inside the walls. It seems the...
Maps - either realistic or abstract - are very helpful for keeping track of what is going on, since a big part of the matrix is defining locations and...
The same site (The Angle http://home.comcast.net/~theangle/) has a semi- abstract set of battle rules. This concept would work very well for matrix games where...
One problem with gaming situations using western forces versus non- western ones - or fictional situations - is that the players always think from a western...
... The wagon is definitely out side of the box. We will see what Rev Witt does with it. Either way I think the game is proving to be interesting. Chris Engle...
I just can't see how the system John is proposing can work without utterly divorcing a Matrix Game from both reality and fiction and instead turning it into an...
I go along with Marcus on this one, and I think I may have been the first to dispute the existence of a Formal Matrix game. Universalis has a mechanism for...
... Ah "Critical Distances" I used that in a miniatures game set of rules that was packaged with the first MG product "Campaign in a Day" in 1992. It is a nice...

I'm happy. Ramadan is over and Terri and I will be away for a few days at a Puppet convention. I'd like Rev Witt to start off the next turn of arguments...
(At least for the nonce.) The Reverend's arms were tired. His lungs were burning. He could hardly see for the sweat pouring into his eyes. He was all but ...
