Just a short note to say that the January Slingshot was posted Wednesday morning so should be with most subscribers this week. Those wishing to subscribe...
... Hi, welcome to the group. VB and DBM are about as different as games get. The only similarity is the PIP/Command Point system, but even this works in very...
sounds good. Some of the features sound similar to principles of war which i like. Can players use DBM based armies to play Vis Bellica or is there a different...
Although technically VB has its own basing system (carefully worked out to scale correctly!) you can use almost any basing convention to play, provided both...
... The Strength system is similar. The day I bought VB at Salute just after it came out the guy on the Lance and Longbow Society stand told me that it was ...
From the messages and the articles discussed here, I conclude that there must be many people around playing the Wars of the Roses. I'm thinking about building...
Hi I don't know the answer to this. I have always assumed they would wear the white with red cross that you already have on your HYW troops. By the way, they...
Hi Just had a thought - given that the garrison was run by Warwick, maybe they wore his own livery, which I think is red with a diagonal white ragged staff. ...
Hi all, haven't been on the group much, mainly because within 2 days of getting it fixed all my emails start bouncing and can't send or receive messages for...
Hi One idea - foraging party trying to get back to camp. The Romans (plus a wagon if you have got one) must get across the table with as much as they can...
OK. Thanks. I will then probably have several bases with figures wearing red crosses in order to reuse my late-HYW figures and add one or two bases of figures...
... Thanks John, I like that idea, that will work just great with the units I have. I will let everyone know how it turns out (3 weeks away yet) James...
I am about to try them rules... but as a lot of other ain't going to rebase.I read the things on the impact of sizes. I will try using half inches (brrr!) for...
... Not me - yet! Good idea. John ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all...
... Using half inches and 80mm bases works fine but can cause problems on a 4 by 6 table as you can run out of space. just using the renges as written with...
I said use half inches because the author justly is concerned about the scales and realistic distances. It normaly should be an important issue in HISTORICAL...
I was thinking about using 90mm frontage bases (that way I can fit four cavalry on close order bases) and take all the measurements by 1.5. Our table in 6 x...
Hi Chris, I've been wanting to get over but work and stuff keeps intruding into my hobby time..... been contenting myself with painting and playing a couple...
... Is there ... The advantage of 80mm bases is that you can make them from groups of 15mm DBM elements. Using bigger bases and increasing the distances should...
Cold Wars 2006, "The Rise and Fall of Rome". March 17-19th 2006 Lancaster Pa. Gamemaster Deadline is this coming Saturday. Cold Wars promotional update. We...
... I won't be there, of course, but would be more than happy to loan some figures for the day, a mix of Crusaders and Turks. Let me know, guys! John ...
... I will definitely be there and would like to be in the Vis Bellica game but unfortunately cannot supply any figures this year due to my other half's...
lots of good stuff to read again this time.... Mike, I enjoyed your review of Bloody Barons. You have obviously taken to these rules. Your other article...
... Agreed - good stuff as always. ... Be careful! By the end you will have a strong urge ot get an army with DONKEY CARTS! (DRAMATIC MUSIC). I certainly...
Hi all, this one is directed at Mike Titensor (as I know now that he is interested in this early period) but I welcome anybody's input. I have for some time...
