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. Greg |

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. Doug |

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. |

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

What is a "Nellie" ? I have not heard this term before. Greg |
oldbob ![Supporting Member of TMP Supporting Member of TMP](boards/icons/sp.gif) | 17 Jul 2011 2:51 p.m. PST |
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? |

I copied that from Simon!!! Mike |
