This past weekend we fought out another great "Campaign in a Day" event at The Portal gaming space in Manchester, Ct, using the Snappy Nappy rules by Russ Lockwood.

The first post is up, covering the initial deployments and plans of campaign:

GM Daniel Burkley also provided all of the very fine 15mm troops; these were the boys of my own command.

Very impressive, but for some reason, every time I hear someone mention the "Snappy Nappy" rules it makes me think of babies …

It's a British thing… Nappy doesn't have that connotation to us Yanks! :-)


It makes me think of the grand sweep of armies over an entire theater of war! :-)

I wanted to name the rules something completely different…

and give it a different look…

to reflect a faster moving game that can scale from a one-on-one small battlefield of a couple feet to a massive multi-player, multi-table campaign in a day.

Full disclosure: I wrote the rules. And yes, I knew what 'nappy' meant in the UK, but SN sounded memorable. :)
