I am also envious of your current residency status. I am hunkered down here in Minnesota with my wife and five sons. I guess I'll just have to pretend over a glass of the tinto.<br />I would love a copy of your rules, I have been searching for a set that gets troops on to the table quickly and efficiently.

Its all covered in the full rules, and if you let me have your email addrsss I will send you a copy.<br /><br />Each turn the commander rolls one average dice. He then adds his command pips (the number shown aainst his name) and that is the total orders he can issue. Sounds complicated, but its quite easy really.<br /><br />These rules would work well for solo games, as you have to write orders for each command before the game starts, and only the CinC can change them.<br /><br />thanks for your comments<br /><br />Paulthistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-42616280573303243532009-04-18T04:01:00.000+02:002009-04-18T04:01:00.000+02:00Hi Paul

You mentioned rolling for command pips. I would like to hear more about this. Actually would be interested in reading your complete campaign rules. Getting ready to start my solo campaign so interested in other folks ideas.<br /><br />Thanks <br />DaveDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359696465336962130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-39908265480239657842009-04-17T14:56:00.000+02:002009-04-17T14:56:00.000+02:00Hi Arthur

If you have any queries please let me know.<br /><br />I would appreciate comments when you get a chance to use them.<br /><br />I must admit retirement is proving much more enjoyable than I had anticipated. Once you get used to doing what you want, when you want, it gets better.<br /><br />Mind living in Spain helps. <br /><br />Keeping busy seems to be the answer, and the blog is helping a lot.

If you have any difficulty understanding them please let me know.<br /><br />Please also let me know what you think of them when you have a chance to use them.<br /><br />You are right that things seemed much simpler and nicer in the "old days". But of course we were much younger then, and pretty well everything seemed better. <br /><br />There is a lot to be said for the hobby as present - for example those lovely Perry plastics you have just bought. How we would have appreciated THEM back in the day!<br /><br />It is very pleasant living in Spain. Jan and I both feel ourselves to be very lucky. There are some things we miss about being in the UK, but the long sunny days and warm evenings with a glass of chilled wine remind us that we made the right decision.<br /><br />Have a look at my other blog Paul and Jan in Spain and you will see what I mean.<br /><br />Do keep the comments coming in, they are very much appreciated. <br /><br />Paulthistlebarrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00077298970769942656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97754405909576170.post-7802783640238141402009-04-16T13:44:00.000+02:002009-04-16T13:44:00.000+02:00Wonderful explanation!

They seem to combine a well-thought out approach with a resonable number of miniatures. <br /><br />Here is my email address:<br /><br />essayons7ATyahooDOTcom<br /><br />I discovered your blog at TMP, and I must say that it is a joy to read. It takes me back to the "old days" when Featherstone was the only "game in town", and things were much more simple.<br /><br />Plus, I envy your being retired in Spain! Must be lovely.<br /><br />Please keep up the great postings, and I look forward to your rules set.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />GregSGreg Saparahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170653448749957195noreply@blogger.com
