Hope everyone enjoyed it. Yes Streitax – or do you mean that some of the players look constipated on the last pic? :) – probably because we wanted to look serious for the photograph :) It was a great game – Yes I lost; I probably should have put all my men inside the fort and not try to fight outside, but hey, it would have been less fun. We play for fun and for daring actions – and "Angus mac Laren" character sent by his player on a very difficult attack on the bastion surprised everyone, he had good luck and a nice story to tell. And my (twice-wounded) commander also has a good story even in his defat. That's what we are looking for. |

Thanks, I enjoyed reading it. The name of the Finnish captain made me laugh :). What rules did you use for this? |

The game master says that he is looking in the Ikea catalogue for more Swedish names to appear in his next games :) The rules were « Argad ! » basic skirmish rules, which are free here:

(although the reference tables for the TYW are not online yet, but if you want them they do exist). |

Looking for Translators I used to design war games for SPI & OSG, and have written several books. I am currently finishing two new books: the first on warfare from the beginning of the Italian Wars to the end of the Thirty Years' War. I'm am also about to attempt to publish a modularized encyclopedia of tactics during the 1494-186 period. I have collected a truly vast array of period primary sources. I read French but slowly and have to work my way through a mountain of highly detailed information about tactics. The effort would be greatly speeded up if I can find a number of people willing to help with translations. Do you think anyone in your club or that you know would be interested in helping? If so, I can be reached at Brentnose@aol.com. Thank you for your help in this matter, Brent Nosworthy |
