Hey guys, I'm translating DBA3.0 into Chinese and the main rule parts are finished. How can I find Phil to ask for authorization if I want to publish it?
I tried but i can't find any information to contact him. Thank you!

I thought it already was in Chinese. |

Hello Frank, Here is the WRG website. You might do well to contact Sue Barker about your work.

Her email address is located at the website. Regards,

Some one less kind than me would perhaps suggest an English translation first. Only joking, Phil Barker writes clear precise wordage. |

You might try and contact the guys from the Hong Kong Society of Wargamers. hksw.org I seem to remember someone has already done this. The guys from the HKSW might know if it is correct. Cheers,

Frank, I look forward to seeing it published. Will it be in simplified or traditional Chinese characters? |

I know HKSW has a translation but that was DBA2.2 and I don't have the full version of it. Seems they they just translated the rule parts |

@platypus01au:
Thanks, surely I'll ask them. |

@Skeptic:
simplified maybe, because I'm from mainland. But it's hard to say, you know, buying a ISBN in China is crazy expensive. If I have to publish the book in HK then it will be traditional. |

So there are real Chinese wargamers, historical? Nt just expats etc. ?
I kno of Chinese made plastic minis so must be a market.
What interests? Sure not mostly our history but their rich ancient and long one too? Good news and I 'd be interested to know. After all they are a bit more of them than…Swiss. |

@Frank Wang: Since 1997, have no publishers in HK made even a partial transition to publishing some works in simplified characters? What about dual simplified/traditional in one volume? |

@Skeptic:
You mean one book with both simplified and traditional Chinese characters? Why?
I think either is OK. I'm a native main land Chinese and lived in Macau for 8 years. I think everyone can read simplified and traditional Chinese. That's not a problem. |
