I understand how folk feel but looking at the front cover it says v.1.1- not the first thing I noticed for sure but it is there. |

That doesn't excuse anything.
As I haven't been following the minutiae of the development of HFG for the last 20 years this hardly screams a warning to me and neither did any of the supporting blurb on the Lulu site. |

Not saying it does and I agree with your post but it is there and for those who want their money back that has implications. |

For me and I'm sure many others it's not the money it's the fact that it's still not HFG!!! |

And what IS HFG then?
It says HFG.
It allows you to play a game of Horse Foot and Guns in the relevant era.
It says it is version 1.1
I really don't see what all the fuss is about. If you haven't been following the development why are you upset about buying a set of rules? Or have you downloaded the freebie – in which case you would know that 1.1 is not the 2.0 version in development? Anyone shouting fraud should think twice – and stop right there. That is defamation. I see no evidence of any misrepresentation – the edition on sale was clearly marked for anyone and everyone to see. If you have been downloading and playing a freebie version all this time perhaps the honourable thing would be to buy a copy or send Phil a donation in any case? |

The problem seems to be that when this appeared on the Lulu site, it looked like a published version of the rules. However, it turns out that the content is simply a reprint of a previously freely available draft. And not even the latest draft at that. The fact that it has now been withdrawn from the Lulu site I think speaks volumes. |

In a nutshell -thank you Major.
I must admit I can't help wondering why it has taken so long to get these rules off the ground -it's like a life long quest for nirvana or a cure for cancer -although things seem to be looking up on that front!! |

Phil Barker is no longer a spring chicken. Now well into his 80s there are limits on what he can do in a given time period. HFG was never a high priority for him. The new version of DBA was much more important. Hence HFG has been on the "back burner" for many years … |

So now that the LULU mess has been sorted out, and free correct replacement copies sent, has anyone been playing this? |
goes to sea with the Terrain Mat.
