A new Hurt or Heal game to decide everybody's favourite battle! Or if you prefer, which battle is your dream game: The figures are painted, the table is the perfect size, the rules are the pinnacle of balance between realism and playability, the other players are the dream team to spend the time with, and there is time aplenty. The beer is golden brown, the snacks are appropriately salty. All we need is the Battle! Rules as always, but if you haven't played before Copy/Paste the last entry. Hurt 2 battles by reducing their totals by 1. Heal 1 battle by adding one to its total Hit SUBMIT If an entry reaches 0 it is out and can't be healed. It is dead, it has joined the choir invisible.

Oh I forgot – Good manner is to have 3 posts between your contributions, so it doesn't turn into who can post fastest. Yep Rupert – you've got the idea. |

To answer at least one person – I picked 'first battles that came to mind' (sort of!) working on the basis they would be the 'biggies' – the ones everyone has heard of. "Illegal proto-Marxist uprising" isn't really my period, so it was Yorktown or Bunker Hill: I made a concious decision no to get over involved in the choosing- if a work colleague heard you were doing a big battle, would they have heard of it? Or even if it was a McGuffin in a film which would have been? |
