It's about time TMP created a Great Northern War board. (a) Yes, the time has arrived.
(b) Yes, but only if its part of a larger 'Lace Wars' board.
(c) No, I like it that this war is buried in the midst of all of the other wars in the 18th Century Board.
(d) Unsure. |

Of course! More boards for everyone, and then we'll need a searchable database to find the proper index titles on the many pages it will swell to. |
| gunnerphil | 25 Nov 2015 2:09 p.m. PST |
Perhaps we should have a board for each battle within each war. |

Perhaps we should have a board for each battle within each war. Good idea!! Board balkanisation rules OK! |

Why stop there? We should have a GNW first game turn board too! |

18th Century is too broad. It stretches from Marlboro to the French Revolution. Why should Poltava be shoehorned in with Bushy Run? Although I have no personal interest in it, my gaming buddies are doing it in 15mm and I will gladly roll dice and kill Swedes. Or Russians. I'm not bigoted. Let's put it to a vote and see if it gets "support". |

I have just started buying a GNW army. I looked on 18th century board. I was hardly overwhelmed by number of posts. I am against the idea of adding boards. Part of the reason for coming here is to get different ideas. So the narrowing of interests is not a good idea. |
| Druzhina | 26 Nov 2015 2:58 a.m. PST |
Only if posts in a Great Northern War Board are not cross-posted to the 18th Century Discussion Message Board, otherwise it is a waste of time. Druzhina

[qoute] Although I have no personal interest in it, my gaming buddies are doing it in 15mm and I will gladly roll dice and kill Swedes. Or Russians. I'm not bigoted. But aperantly you won't kill, danes, prussians, saxons or poles, so you ARE a big fat bigot! |

Ican now only with too much effort look at all the boards, so please NO! May I even plea tot close most boards |
| Gunfreak | 26 Nov 2015 5:11 a.m. PST |
There should only be two boards, 1. Stuff I like
2. Stuff I really like
All other boards should be gone.

TMP should have the following boards only: Biblical
Ancients
Medieval
Renaissance 1500 – 1700
18th Century
Napoleonic
19th Century
20th Century
Moderns That's it! |
| Winston Smith | 26 Nov 2015 1:42 p.m. PST |
How can you separate Napoleonics from 19th Century?
And why isn't Biblical Ancients? |
| Rhysius Cambrensis | 26 Nov 2015 2:48 p.m. PST |
Because biblical is ancient ancient history and I don't want Napoleonic crap clogging up my favourite boards! |

I'm all for it – as others have said, the 18th C. board is rather broad compared to Napoleonics, nor does it mark a discrete period in terms of weaponry or tactics. Although some influences would last, of course, the wars of Marlborough or Charles XII were not those of Frederick the Great, and by the Revolutionary wars, if we may call them that, things had evolved again. How about a three-way split: early , mid- and late 18th C.?
Exact demarkations to be determined (but see above). |

In the spirit of the season:- "OH, NO IT ISN'T!!!" I vote (E) – None of the above/spoilt ballot paper. |
| mashrewba | 28 Nov 2015 5:27 a.m. PST |
It amuses me when people state,tediously that they have no interest in period -pointless comment of all time really – it's up there with:
"Is there a doctor in the house for this person having a heart attack?"
"No but I'm a plasterer…" I had no interest in the Great Northern War until suddenly I did and then I was all over it. This is the very nature of our hobby.
I mean for someone with no interest in the American Civil War but there do seem to be an awful lot of both 28 and 15mm figures in my collection for it and I know that the TMP board is there for when I get one morning and think ooo Bull Run… How very queer. |

Option C. I'm not convinced there's enough traffic to warrant more boards in this century of wargaming. After SYW and AWI, GNW would surely have to wait in queue behind more popular contenders like WSS. And then where do you draw the line? A board for every conflict through the 18th Century?? I would actually prefer all 18th Century (SYW and AWI included) to be in the one place so I don't have to go hunting for posts. |
| bigdennis | 01 Dec 2015 9:45 p.m. PST |
Yes please. Great period. |
| Old Contemptibles | 02 Dec 2015 4:26 p.m. PST |
Biblical is included in ancients. Napoleonics is separated because it is the paramount gamming period. It is the heart of the hobby. Just as ACW could also could be broken out of the 19th Centaury. ACW is a mainstay period. |
| marco56 | 02 Dec 2015 7:10 p.m. PST |
18th century should be,
1700-1730
1730-1765
1765-1799

| Brownbear | 03 Dec 2015 8:30 a.m. PST |
no,
french revolution should be seperate, preferable divdded in an early part (up to 1797) and later part (1799 and onwards) |
| Gunfreak | 03 Dec 2015 8:33 a.m. PST |
Really 18th century should be devided into 100 boards one for each year. |

B or C for me. It isn't big enough to have it's own board. |
| daler240D | 04 Apr 2016 7:16 a.m. PST |
GNW is hardly "buried" in anything. 18th century is already a pretty quiet board. Channeling more content AWAY from it makes little sense to me. |
