Many.of you might know David Manley. He has designed all the STL ACW ironclads for Long Face Games. He has also written many ironclad rules on Wargames Vault. I learned a couple of days ago that he is in hospital in London, UK, after suffering a stroke. I don't know anything more but will post when I know. |

I have no idea what goes on with TMP when I use my phone. |

It sounded so nice you said it twice, or thrice, or…. |

Oh geez, that's terrible news. David is very nice fellow, a wealth of naval knowledge and has written some incredibly good naval rulesets. I don't know him well but I've emailed him over the years and he's always been incredibly decent to me and answered my questions. I first came to know his rules with his pre-dread rules You May Fire When Ready. I own and have enjoyed his fast play renaissance galley set and have a live affair with his missile.boat ruleset Bulldogs Away. I will say a prayer David and he will be in my thoughts as well. |

I have no idea what goes on with TMP when I use my phone. Probably not you. Our server was under attack earlier today, and things got a little rattled before the tech people came to the rescue. Best wishes to David. |

I had commented n the earlier thread before it got nuked. As a big fan of David's work and admirer of his prolific output, I can only wish you the best, David. Please get well soon. |

Thanks Bill. Too bad about the server under attack. |
| colkitto | 30 Nov 2023 11:42 a.m. PST |
That's shocking. I hope he gets better soon. And yes, loads of great rules (and 3D models, for those who can use that sort of thing). |

I hope David gets better soon and the Stroke isn't too severe, he is a fantastic proponent for all things Naval in the wargaming world.
My prayers and best wishes are with him and his friends and family. |

My best wishes for a quick and complete recovery for Mr. Manley. |

Sad news indeed. I can only hope he will recover fully and not suffer any long term disability as a result. |

What would the Red Chinese want with a list of wargamers? It's not like they can blackmail us, we're already out of the closet. |
| BattlerBritain | 05 Dec 2023 3:15 p.m. PST |
Oh wow, just seen this. Really hope he gets better soon. He's a really great guy and I used to play games against him when he was in Trowbridge. Best wishes Dave. |

Glad to see he's posting again – best wishes for his recovery. |
