Many years ago Richard Tyson and I put together a set of skirmish rules for 16th century Border Reivers, "Hot Trod and Red Hand".

I'd been asked if they are still available because the sites they had previously been published on have disappeared, so I've published them on my blog for anyone who wants them. https://grahamsgaming.blogspot.com/2020/05/hot-trod-red-hand.html

I have it in good authority that one of my ancestors had to flee to Ireland and change his name after he punched the judge who was accusing him of unauthorised livestock procurement.

He was completely innocent I'm sure

Not sure why that should be, I've just had a look at it and it was OK. Someone has just downloaded a copy a few minutes ago.

Does innocent in this case mean "Successfully resisted arrest and got away"?
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Is there another meaning?!

Might be because it's embedded in the post, trying a different browser may work, or else sunjester may be kind enough to post up the direct link which may work.

I hope he doesn't mind me posting this, but Sunjester isn't Australian because one of his forebears was thrown out of Australia for being TOO criminal.

Hello

Tried it with both Firefox and Chrome, both refused to connect. Finally got it connecting with Firefox by using an add-on "Ignore x-frame Options" but then it wanted me to log into Google even though I was already logged in. At this point I threw my hands in the air.

Came back to see if there was as direct link available.

Cheers
