I really like BP, but don't have any figures and between work and the little one, things are progressing pretty slowly. (And I'm not starting anything new until I get make significant progress on what I've already got lined up!)<br /><br />I plan on running some ancients at Cold Wars. What rules I will use, I'm not certain yet. I'd like to play some more Hail Caesar. I like it so far, but one game is not enough.ZeroTwentythreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08447858247978320583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319761734375963722.post-87501138631541309982011-11-30T14:49:55.445-05:002011-11-30T14:49:55.445-05:00Are you going to Cold Wars?

I would have preferred if the lists & special rules were all grouped at the end. Or beginning, I suppose. Or even the middle. Just put all the game mechanics stuff in one place, and the history & scenarios in another.ZeroTwentythreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08447858247978320583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319761734375963722.post-67373817632724625322011-11-29T15:48:03.281-05:002011-11-29T15:48:03.281-05:00I saw your book several weeks ago.Very nice,but I&...I saw your book several weeks ago.Very nice,but I'm waiting for the AWI supplement,which I understand wont be much longer.Same friend picked up some Blue Moon AWI generals.Perhaps we should call him St.Nick(behind his back,of course).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319761734375963722.post-75043736820095237722011-11-26T15:27:54.707-05:002011-11-26T15:27:54.707-05:00A reserve in HC is a fine idea! 3 lines might eve...A reserve in HC is a fine idea! 3 lines might even work... more painting! :-) SimonBigRedBathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622983082204451158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319761734375963722.post-53496964690674579582011-11-26T13:22:14.065-05:002011-11-26T13:22:14.065-05:00That was one of my comments after the game. We all...That was one of my comments after the game. We all spread out in a line, but I was particularly worried about being enveloped, so tried to swing some light cavalry around the flank -- not easy to do given the ease of movement in HC (and the "small" table.)<br /><br />I like that it encourages a bit of depth/support and holding a reserve. I've found little value in holding a reserve in WAB which has been the most common ancients rules I've played for a while.<br /><br />I'm really looking forward to playing some more, and hopefully larger, games. Time to get painting more ancients!
