... That's a rather large generalization. There's quite a bit of crossover between the two groups. Anyway, I never really pictured Gloire as the type of game...
Who's asking for Orcs and grindhouse zombies? That's a far cry from witch hunters and werewolves. Rhoderic ... supplement, ... do as ... Sincerely. ... can't...
... As a point of reference I run a Pulp game (.45 adventure of course!) every year as the last game of Cangames which is an "all comers" (RPG, historicals,...
Grindhouse zombies? Not in Gloire. Maybe in .45 Adventures. The zombies I would like to see are the traditionan Hatian voodoo zombies. You know corpses...
Well, Historicon is now behind us, I hope you all had as much fun as I did! I am almost caught back up on my sleep! Now it is time to turn our thoughts...
Why not continue the historical line... French & Indian War to Revolutionary War, or even a Wild West supplement. A few fellow gamers here in Connecticut I...
An interesting issue popped up on TMP: http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=115777 First of all, I recognize some of the posters here in that thread...
Frankly, I suppose I'd just do what you folks at Rattrap have done: Cut down the number of miniatures to a handful, but make them all the more detailed and...
... When I said that "there's a faction in gaming that believes that no game system can't be made better by adding Orcs, Grindhouse Zombies, and/or Nazis" I...
Here are some pics of the miniatures I used in my Gloire game at Historicon. These are just posed shots I took while I was setting up the board. I was too...
... I don't think it's a large generalization at all. Before Warhammer and RPGs most wargamers were historic wargamers. Adding fantasy elements to a...

Does anyone have pictures of the actual Blue Moon figures? I know I went by the booth at Historicon but I can not remember what the figures looked like and...
We played our first UTBF game last night - the 'Attack on the Stockade' scenario - and a great time was had by all. Because of availability of appropriate...

I know that this is not intended to be a "meticulous simulation", but I'm baffled by the ship movment rules. How do I *turn* a ship to get into position to...
In a word, you don't. The ships only move relative to each other, and any superiority in speed and handling can be used to bear off or close at your...
... That's two words. ;- ) ... OK. I see. What's confusing me is why the two sides go through this process using "handling". The whole point of the game is...
The Handling stat is simply an abstraction of both speed and ease of maneuvering. A ship with high Handling can escape more easily, or can close more quickly....
... I understand where you're going now. It's really my fault, as I never think of the "45A" system as campaign oriented, so I just wasn't thinking along...
Glad to hear the game was so successful! Musketry on the tabletop is something that requires a fair degree of finessing, since reloading is so onerous. I'm...
I hate to be bringing this up multiple times, but the ship movement rules also seem to be slightly misworded, at least in the PDF version of UBF (which is the...
Definitely not a waste of time Pete. We thought it added a new element. What I like in any game is being forced to make lots of decisions - pistol and musket...
