I think for Neil Thomas' rules I imagine it was exactly how the author originally did it and it works much better, because then you can see exactly how much is in common between the different 'period' rulesets and where exactly the changes are.JWHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637785437909299947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558350314928035506.post-30046575210091135672021-08-11T08:12:14.390+01:002021-08-11T08:12:14.390+01:00lol.

The game is in units of equal width and all I came up with tracking casualties per base - 4 for cavalry, 5 for infantry. Be interesting to see how the rules work, I have put using the rules for these battles on the to do list as well. I would be "forced" to have to re-type out the rules as the formatting suffers fmom compressing them into an article. I say "forced" as I find creating a comprehensive QRS or retyping the rules (if a short length) really helps with understanding the rules.Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558350314928035506.post-52549876266984126302021-08-11T08:02:46.457+01:002021-08-11T08:02:46.457+01:00Thanks Shaun.

So there is every danger that I may do one of the battles in the series with the author's rules...JWHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637785437909299947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558350314928035506.post-5615925258728721572021-08-09T21:49:38.885+01:002021-08-09T21:49:38.885+01:00Great narrative there, enjoyed the post!

They have been on my list for years to give a go but not a high priority :-( But it is always good to see magazine scenarios having a run.

Like maybe a lot of gamers, possibly I spend a little too much money and effort on figures and not quite enough on terrain.JWHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637785437909299947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558350314928035506.post-92123731839737620992021-08-09T12:51:34.489+01:002021-08-09T12:51:34.489+01:00Thanks Steve, appreciated.
