I'm in the process of painting up miniatures, etc., for Gerard Luft's Interface of Time game, and have had difficulty trying to download the map: neither the...
I think it's not there - I tried various upper and lowercase combinations and searched around on that website as well. Try sending an email direct to the...
Hmm - unfortunately I can't find any contact details for C. Gerald Luft Dang, and I was going to suggest a change to the D20 statistics for Daleks - I think...
Recently I've been collecting "HISTORICAL War" movies on DVD. This activity includes going straight to the battle sequences. Partial Film List so far: War &...
I've always found war movies disturbing - so I avoid watching them. Either they glorify war and sicken me - or they are gritty and realistic, and disgust me...
I've noticed most movies of warfare circa 1700-1850 depict cannons causing explosions on the ground. You can find depictions of canister and occasionally of...
It's movie license. There is no safe way to have cannonballs bounce amongst actors or stuntmen :) Many tactics of war have to be changed to protect the lives...
Hi Peter, I must say over the past few years I've become a real student of warfare from all ages. I could probably teach an undergrad course in it. When I...
Interesting yes - and educational. I just don't like dramatisations of it (or historical fiction, if you will). It's a matter of taste - I also don't like cop...
I support your comments about differing tastes and educational value of war movies. I remember watching 'All Quiet on the Western Front' and 'The Bridge' as a...
I think it was either Sam Adams or John Adams who said: "Every man thinks meanly of himself for not being a soldier" A German Warpspawner e-mailed me to remind...
Ah well, if we're going for home nation movies then like Das Boot/The Boat - then I should nominate a Brian Brown one :) Breaker Morant And of course,...
sorry to intrude, but you've made a bunch of games on war and war is your favourite topic of discussion and reading. So how can you say that you dislike war...
By George I think you've got it! Maybe it's something primitive, in some rudimentary part of our brain, that excites us about conflict. Maybe we haven't...
Sad to say, I've only seen part of the movie late night on TV a while ago. But it's a court martial about the Boer War. ... Find local movie times and trailers...
I am thinking about a D&D type board game but would like to keep it simple when it comes to combat. Would anyone like to recomend a simple system to resolve...
The simplest system I've seen was for the Munchkin card game - you add the level of your character and any additions from armour, weapons and items. If it is...
Hmm, could be time to update the Big Book again soon :) Actually a regular time might be best - say once every month. ... Find local movie times and trailers...
Actually I'll mention this over on Paperworlds.com as well as they are working on naval rules for the current paper miniatures competition. ... Find local...
... The book is looking fantastic! Just a thought but could you close the book off at the end of the year then start a new volume for next year? I have...
That does sound like a good idea. Actually it might be a good idea to do it retroactively too - one volume per year back to 1999. The size of the thing is...
I find it refreshing that every once in a while the Warpspawn message board throws in a thought teaser. Thought I'd toss in one of my own. Even though like...
I can see a lot of hair pulling ahead... Seriously though, it is certainly possible. But not if I'm the only one doing it (I don't have the time). But - the...
Warp Spawn Web Ring now Available. A brand new source of aggravation for those so inclined. They tell me it needs minimum 3 links, so I need at least 2...
