Simon Miller (of BigRedBat's Shop bigredbatshop.co.uk ) is developing a variant of his "To the Strongest!" ancient/medieval rule set. The Jackson Gamers are participating in the play test development and ran a game this past Thursday. Please drop by Col Campbell's Barracks for a brief report: link Jim |

Montgomery looks to be a popular scenario these days (or is it just that it is the default play test scenario for Mr.Miller's rules?). |

It is the default scenario included as part of the play test rule package. Jim |

It was included because there was an excellent base scenario done by Bob Giglio in his second ECW scenario booklet, and it had also been used in a couple of other recent rule sets (I think "This War without an Enemie" was one) so people could compare.
In addition it is a very playable size, with enough units to act as a reasonable test of the rules, while not requiring playtesters to have the full armies for Marston Moor! Mollinary |

Montgomery is also the scenario in 'To Defy a King'.
It's a good size for a wargame, fairly balanced, and has troops entering after the start, so is interesting. |

… it had also been used in a couple of other recent rule sets (I think "This War without an Enemie" was one)… Yes, we have played it a couple of times using a couple of different sets of rules, starting with WWaE for that reason. BTW, I love the Giglio scenario books. |

is a big fan of the Age of Sail, and these ships really speak to him - he loves transitional eras, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars was one of those.
