Update

Recent activity

I have been very slow in updating this blog but I have been working on many different projects.

Firstly I am in the process of play testing a set of rules for the AWI period that will hopefully extend through the war of 1812 in the colonies and up to the ACW with a figure to man ratio of 1:20. The main principle is activating units to act, or not, and do what you want them to. They are simple but not simplistic, just how I like my rules.

The first real play test involved a few amendments and tweaks and I am now ready to give them another go.

Secondly, using a similar system I have started to write a set of dark age rules for Parkfield’s Arthurian figures based around warbands, warlords and small scale combat. These are in their first draft at present awaiting a first play.

Apart from that it seems that shows have taken over recently with Farnborough last weekend, where my club put on a game using beneath the Lilly Banners (photos can be seen on the club's blog-http://thamesvalleywargamers.blogspot.com/ )and Rampage this coming Sunday. Then I hope to settle down a bit and get some projects finished.
