I got back into miniature wargaming as freshman in college. By that time, I had not touched my Airfix toy soldiers in years, but at 17 I found an old,...
... work of love, full of information and ever stimulating. I cross my finger, and I hope the new publisher & editor won't let us down, and will keep fighting...
Any tips on converting scenarios for other games to Piquet? I am thinking specifically of adapting some of the scenarios in TSATF scenario portfolio for use...
Great question...I am interested in finding scenario ideas for the American Civil War period for use with my new Hallowed Ground supplement. Any good sources...

Howdy Robert! Out of curiosity, what do you consider to be a "small" game? Craig ... the ... know if it is still in print. ... he converted for ... you begin...
Craig, The Jonny Reb scenarios translate fairly readily. The only things you might need to do is vary your sequence decks to take account of dense terrain in...
Craig, One of my favourite ACW scenarios/battles, and a good size with which to start, is Willamsburg. It is set out in The Sound of the Guns (a scenario book...
