Wow, that was impressive! Tactica always did look good visually. You were using the original set not Tactica II?
How long did it last?

Thanks,

John

John, to answer your questios 1) it took about 2 1/2 hrs to play! Once you have combat all hell breaks loose! 2) Tactica 2 has NOT been released yet!!! Thanks for looking!!Mike Adams

Yes John, only about 2 and 1/2 hours but that included the time to rearange the troops and our usual banter.

Looks very good Mike; 240 man legion is always a fine sight. I like the cavalry.

Cheers, Simon

Sounds great! I know Tactica II hasn't been released. Boy do I know. However, I know some folks have playtest copies and are using those.

Thanks,

John

Always enjoyed a good Tactica game. Looking forward to finally seeing it in print again. Best ancient ruleset by far.

Cool. I've still got my copy of Tactica. It's a great game.

Still using my version 1 copy. My wife and I will finalize burial plans – and likely have a chance to put them into action – before I see version 2.

(Yes, I know they're supposedly "right around the corner.")

Looks great. Made me come over all nostalgic too.

That's a good looking game! Tactica always did produce pretty games.

tactica games look great in 28mm – yours certainly does.

I would like to make an army but they scary big!

O.K. I'm through pouting, it's better than outstanding, it's fantastic! Mike; great looking big armies.

Rumor has it that Mike runs a used Nellie lot in is spare time! Myself, I'm the proud owner of "One" slightly used Nellie.

LEGION 195016 Jul 2011 3:53 p.m. PST

Bob, it is not a rumor!!!! Mike

What is a "Nellie" ? I have not heard this term before.

A Nellie is a little tiny thing with big ears and a tail, no that's not right! It seems that it's slang for Elephant! I don't know why?

LEGION 195017 Jul 2011 10:45 p.m. PST

I copied that from Simon!!! Mike
