Transfering to new barracks....

I take it you are referring to the Khyber Pass Games versions?

The problem is they were DTP games which usually means unless someone has an uncut copy they will be tough to track down although Maiwand was republished by White Dog.

I was.  And they are.  Very tough.

But it sounds like a new group is opening shop with crew from both companies.

Where did you find that news release and what was the date of it?  I haven`t been over to CSW for a few days but I thought I had subscriptions in place that would catch an item like that.

It's our hope to develop the basic BFC rules from these into a set of encompassing general rules set that we can use to cover ... the Crimea (1855).

I`m very interested in the Crimean War.  But this sounds tailor-made for me....

We are also developing a European Colonial Battle system which so far includes games on the following: Maiwand 1880, El Teb II 1885, Ginnis 1885, Firket 1896, and Atbara 1898. We hope to move this system into Zulu ... engagements.

I don`t know anything about playtesting but I`m very tempted to volunteer.  Thanks for passing this on!!

I`m looking to acquire both "Maiwand" and "Togoland, 1914" which I understand were both PnP.  If anyone knows of a source I`d appreciate a heads-up.

Oooh...I didn't realize the arrogant and insulting delusional egomaniac category actually was accepted.

Fixed that for you.  The comment on his home page here helped me greatly with the diagnosis.

I found this poll on BGG . I believe it refers to Calendale.

You really are a pathetic, fatuous little man.

We've become a society of the Offended. Offending someone is quickly becoming the worst sin anyone can do. Somehow, making someone feel bad is akin to murder.

This pretty much sums up my feelings on the subject...

"The Hill" is superb and "Lion of the Desert" is also excellent.

My favourite NAVAL war film is probably, "Master & Commander"

My favourite LAND BASED war film changes all the time.  Enrico mentioned Rod Steiger (as Mussolini) and that reminds me that "Waterloo" is one of my favourites.

I think I will pick Ridley Scott`s, take on Joseph Conrad`s, "The Duellists".  A film I absolutely love.

So, the "..." got you another ban, eh?

Your content they like.  Your character, not so much.

Fine.  I don`t normally thumb-up your vids.  I`ll start.  Maybe it`ll even out.

Enjoying your High Frontier re-visit!

negative followers.

Axe-grinding, puerile twats looking for an excuse to click the Red-X of undeserved self-righteousness, you mean?

I see MD is active on CSWsocial at the moment.  I guess he did get a BGG ban too, then.

I don`t so much dread going to games night as see it as a duty.  I have to go - or I`ll be letting my mates down.  It`s a bit of a bind sometimes and there`s often something else I`d rather do.  But, I still go. 

And I almost always enjoy myself once I`m there and the game`s started.
 
Three of us are all now 48 and have been gaming together since discovering D&D in `80 or `81.  The "in vogue"  games come and go but, whatever it happens to be at any one time, it`s acting as a magnet that brings old friends together every week (or so) to shoot-the-**** and chew-the-fat.  So dread be damned; I`d be loathe to lose what we`ve got.

No, I`ve never been tempted to join any branch of the armed forces.  I have one of those contrary natures whereby I am easily persuadable, BUT, I won`t be TOLD what to do.  I like to be asked nicely  Grin

Hhmmm.  I`ve been looking and you`re right.  They don`t have that function (that I can find).

Another plan bites the dust :-(
15  General Category / Site Direction / Re: Spammin' on: July 11, 2014, 01:15:56 pm
True.  But it`s been up for less than a week and "Rome was not built in a day".

...

...and all that jazz.



Why not add a URL signature to your "..." posts on BGG?  You might tempt some of the knobheads over for a fight  Grin
