Please see link for another refight of the tenth scenario from Neil Thomas' One Hour Wargames book, set in the Horse & Musket period – this time with the board the right way around!

Another nail biter! I had wondered why you make your infantry bases deep. But I see it is to hold the very nice casualty markers. 1/300 is such a practical scale for a quick bash on a small table. |

I had wondered why you make your infantry bases deep. But I see it is to hold the very nice casualty markers. Ha! I wish I were as thoughtful as that. I just use 60mm x 30mm since the Polemos set of rules recommends them and they make DBA look a little nicer. But I have discovered as an emergent property that you can often stick the little casualty markers on the front of the bases too… |

Just seeing this now. RE your postscript. NT rules are really
wonderful for modifying to taste. I have also done some of this and added just enough for my personal enjoyment without impacting NT's original intent. Do you have any solo mechanisms? |

Hi Tortorella, Entirely agreed regarding Neil Thomas' rules. I think it is only his WW2 set that I have never been able to get into a shape I like. I don't really use specific solo mechanisms in Neil Thomas games. The order mechanism I use in this one provides that bit of extra randomness but really with simple rules and no more than 12 elements per side, I normally just turn the table around, metaphorically speaking. |
