"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun."
The Writer of course had wargaming primarily in mind. I read in the Cold Wars program that Saturday night at 7:00 had a veritable plethora of AWI goodies scheduled at that time.
So I had my Hall Pig™ and my Yuengling and wandered to my first choice, Light Bobs in 40mm.
I had a great talk with the writer, Chris Parker, about AWI gaming. I mentioned my own "Flames of Liberty" and how much of it I stole from other rules sets.
"Don't we all?" he grinned. There is nothing new under the sun. And Light Bobs is a good game. As Victor Kiam said, "I liked the game so much I bought the rules!" |

I always thought the quote referred to bell-bottom trousers. |

So I wonder who the Preacher stole that phrase from? |

Now I'm going to be up nights wondering what a Hall Pig is. |

Now I'm going to be up nights wondering what a Hall Pig is.
Probably a hot dog. |

Seems like 1:9 would definitely be a skirmish scale. Oh, wait… |

His "Day of Battle" medieval rules are fun, too. |

Oh well if we're quoting, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN, "And it is said, divide by half if shooting against skirmishing troops."
With no disrespect peoples.
Cheers all :) |

Hall Pig is the piece de resistance of the Host dining experience. A still living pig is shredded before your eyes and served.
Comes with cole slaw and mashed potatoes. |
