I've been meaning to post this on the blog for a while now:

I know that Heraclea has been seeing a resurgence of interest recently, so when our group was asked to put on a large club game it seemed a good idea. I will post an AAR at one point, probably when I get some time in a week or so.

Cheers

Paul,

Did you mean Platea? That's where the link leads. Good looking scenario.

Sorry John, should have said to scroll down a bit!

Funny. I got down to Issus and gave up! If only I had scrolled a bit more! Still for Tactica II? Any word on if/when it will be out?

The last thing I heard was that Arty had some design decisions to make about diagrams. That was just before the summer…

I had heard it would be out by Historicon. That was at the beginning of July! Of course, maybe he did not specify which year! grin

Good resource you've got there, Paul! You've added a lot since I last checked your scenario page. Nice work.

Cheers,
Aaron

Thanks, Aaron, it is starting to grow a little. So much so, in fact, that I am considering dividing it into sub-periods over several pages. When I set it up, I didn't realise how long it would become.

Any feedback would be appreciated – I don't want it to become unreadable due to length, but at the same time some people prefer to have a lot of information on a single page. Can't please everyone!

Cheers
Paul

I was about to ask what rules.

Hi Hank, I've done these for Tactica, but I have attempted to make the unit descriptions as generic as possible. Heavy Infantry, instead of FV 5-6, that sort of thing. Besides, typing too many numbers makes my head hurt…

Paul – could you put the scenarios into the body of your blog and use the 'scenarios' page to link to them individually? That way the content could be seen at a glance while still allowing each scenario to get the space needed to do it justice.

In the end though you just have to do whatever works best for you, and I have no problem with how you've got it at the moment :)

Cheers,
Aaron

Hi Aaron, that's an idea. It means that the individual scenarios would have their own blog entries, and there would be a page to act as an index of sorts. Kind of like the labels, only a bit more sophisticated. I'll need to think about this; doing it would take longer (too much to do in the house just now!).

Thanks!
