"My One Hour Wargame AWI Mods" Topic

Here are my latest mods, I hope you find them useful: link

Looks interesting. I will give them a closer read when I have time. Thanks.

This is the first I've heard about 'One-hour Wargames.' Sounds like just what I need as a novice wargamer.

Steelkilt – The book is a perfect intro. It covers like 10 different periods and has a lot of scenarios ready to play.

I hope to see you Saturday, Patrick.

Hey Robby! I won't be able to play, I have prior commitments, but I will swing by Chris's museum first thing in the morning.

@steelkit: The rules are very simple on the surface, but subtle and easily tinkered with. The scenarios alone are worth the price of admission.

Jozis Tin Man,

I really like what you've done. Everything seems to keep in line with what Mr. Thomas wants in his games.

One observation: Leaders will die at a pretty high rate if they try to rally. I do this very same thing in my Featherstone mod. The last game we played, leaders were committed with abandon. The body count was pretty high. Something like 4 out of 8 leaders were killed. I have only a '6' for kills. 5-6 might be a little high depending on what you are going for.

I need to play test it more, I keep flip flopping between them being killed on a 6 or a 5-6.

I am going to try leaving it at 5-6 and maybe providing a few more leaders. I will assume that "killed" does not necessarily mean dead, maybe wounded, fell off their horse, lose their bottle, or are just completely uninspiring.

I'll try it both ways and let you now how I get on!

That looks awesome, thanks for posting it!

V/R,
Jack

I am presenting a Bunker Hill participation game in 54mm at my local library in June. I already own the Neil Thomas book, so this looks like just the ticket. Thanks!

JTM,

You could switch to a D8, D10 or D12 for the leader casualty roll. This would enable you to have a chance of somewhere between a 16% and 33% casualty chance. If you want to venture into non-D6 territory.

Looks great. Thanks for posting. I like the cards.

Terrific. Thanks for adding this. Neil Thomas writes simple but realistic rules with and justifies his thinking with such clarity that it seems to encourage great modifications (Ive spent the day making hex terrain to play his OHW and Napoleonic rules on) . I may be tempted to try AWI now!
If anyone is new to the rules I recommend having a look at the Yahoo Group.

Thanks for all of the compliments! As for the cards, my wife is a teacher and we own a laminator, so I take any opportunity I can to print and laminate stuff.

Hi! Just found this thread. Unfortunately, when I went to download the docs on your website I get a "Document Lookup Failed; Document may have been deleted."

Are the documents available anywhere else, by chance? The QRF and Fog of War cards sound really interesting. Thanks!
