Heroscape: Road to the Forgotten Forest

It's a terrain expansion for Heroscape, but will non-Heroscape gamers be attracted by the trees?

Are there any wargamers in the west of Normandy, ideally near to Vire or Conde-sur-Noireau? I searched for clubs but couldn't find any on the web.

(And let's try in my best French as well):
Existe-t-il tout de wargamers dans l'ouest de la Normandie, idéalement proche de Vire ou Conde-sur-Noireau ? J'ai cherché pour les clubs, mais n'a pas pu trouver sur le web.

Merci beaucoup. Thanks to your help I have found Aigles et bannieres du Cotentin – not quite as near as I'd hoped but I'll try to get in touch.

My own preferred period is late nineteenth century or WWII but willing to play other games too.

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

Leslie – sorry, only just saw your message – no, I'm not in France all the time, will reply offline.

Good news is that I managed to get a game in Carentan recently:
