End of June Titles at Caliver Books

Russ Lockwood writes:

Thank you for your kind comments, especially about "reading it with great pleasure. It's well-written in a engaging style and the explanations of the concepts and rules are clear." As the rules author, that's paramount. Of course, I'd especially like to hear about your impressions after you've had a game or two.

"one disappointment was the very traditional illustrations inside"

Except for the rules artwork (formations, pg 20-21, fronts and flanks p.22, charge example p. 23, firing arcs p. 25, etc. etc.), the rest of the b/w illustrations are indeed traditional, 19th C. illustrations. It was enough to convince the publisher to take a chance on the cover -- you've already seen the posts, pro and con.

"I do like the distinctive cover – could this start a trend for non-representational art on the covers of wargame rules?"

I don't know, but I'd like to claim at least some of the credit if it does! :) Part of the reason why you see so many "traditional" covers is the expense of hiring an artist to create original art…and if you do hire an artist, then it drives the price of the rules up. So it is a balance of cost versus projected sales on the part of the publisher.

>Thanks for making these rules available again, Russ!

You're welcome. But also thank Dennis from On Military Matters for deciding to put up the expense and publish them.
