Might disagree with sell the 6mm stuff.

Understand what you are saying, Ian. It was during my wargaming wilderness years. They were in their boxes unplayed with and unloved. It was cruelty to keep them. They needed to be mobilised, played with, loved.  :x  And so, it was with a heavy heart that I had to set them free.  =((
But I soon cheered up when the cheques came in!  :) And, when I returned, my first purchase was from .... Pendraken!  Huzzah! :-bd
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Welcome Ken

I'm also a 'former' 6mm gamer. I am really enjoying the added detail of 10mm while still retaining the mass effect of 6mm

This is the main reason I'm interested in 10mm. I fancy myself a painter and 6mm just doesn't scratch that itch.

How do you find the "One Hour Wargames"? (If you say "on Amazon" then ... you'll fit in wonderfully.) It's on my wish list, but the only ruleset I use that I haven't written are the ones in Donald Featherstone's "War Games".

At first read I thought it was rubbish, then I played a few games just to see. I really enjoy them, especially when used with the scenarios and campaign ideas. I do wish he expanded each era to six types of units instead of just four.

This is certainly the warmest welcome I've ever had, thank you all.  :D

Wecome, Ken. You'll find this forum is partly a depository of distilled wisdom and partly a psychiatric help-group. It's up to you to sort out the two factions....
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

Firstly, welcome Ken.

Interesting to here that about the Neil Thomas rules, I have the book and have used a number of the scenarios and they are very good, and adaptable.

I was tempted to give the horse and musket rules a go, and hearing the above I might well get on and try a game.

Thanks for the welcome

They're easy enough to learn and used with the scenarios give a pretty fun game. I really like using the turn cards he suggests in the campaign chapter. Let's you easily track turns and they add more to the game. Still trying to figure out the best way to record hits.

Can you point out where the turn cards are mentioned - I've had a look and can't spot them - but could have skimmed over the relevant bit. Thanks.

They're in the solo wargaming chapter (22) page 130.
