10 mm rules for any period of warfare

[rexhurley]

Found IABSM based on some other comments last night, read their intent and have an order of the way...might just be what I'm looking for...

Problem is the wallet is going to take a hammering all that other nice candy to...Bag a Hun, Kreigspiel (who would have thought), those maps and oh yeah....Pendraken toys to go with it  Leon you got your casting ladle in hand....

Rex - don't know where you are but I (and am sure Sunjester) will happily take you through a game of IABSM if you are near Aylesbury/Tring area.  It plays different to BKC - word of warning, don't get caught in the open at short range.

Also it can be cheap to do.  SJ and myself use 2 bases to a section, with 3 figs per base; our armies are based for other things.  Bases therefore represent 4 or 5 men, dependant on army, we mark hits with tiny dice, removing a base at 4 (or 5) hits.  However even if you go for 1 fig per man for a US army (10 man sections in the rules) you can get a company (the standard force) for £20 in 10mm.  You then throw the support in when you feel you want to. Word of warning - a US armored infantry company costs about £60, due to the 16 half tracks!

(Have just checked, a US army pack would work, assuming Leon keeps the ratio of BAR to rifles reasonable - £18, there you go.  Under £40 and you can get both sides.  Couple of hundred men - WW2 won't take as long to paint as other periods.  Go and buy them now.  I'll take my commision please Leon. )

Bawaa would love to take you up on your kind offer, do you have spare $2500 NZD for my airfare 

Excellent sounds like a plan I have been/will be doing 3-4 men per base or one heavy support weapon so thats great means I can play IABSM or FOW (for the locals of course if they don't convert!), or BKC II cool.

Been chatting with Richard at lardies and apparently he has found some cards and token packs during some renovations so I'm snaffling some tonight, maybe he'll have some left if you want to hit him up.

And yup vehicles are always the killer but hey I'll only spend it on the wife or daughter if i don't so why not indulge 

As for painting umm in my time doing commissions or my own and selling them I have done (FOW) six full Soviet infnatry battaliosn with supports, a Lend Lease battaions, snotloads of t34's, 3 Full battalions (yes Battalions) of Germans with support, english and so on so yup know so quick anmd easy ways mate but hey SYW and Marlburians are quick to just need to know the cheats eh.  it's more being married with children and a 120km commute by car each way a day thats the time killer versus my days of being a shift worker, still i could always quit and live off the wife for a while

$2500 NZD - Thats about £2.47p isn't it.  Not sure you'll be afford the 5 quid subs!

I had my bundle on pre-order, and sweet talked Rich into sending me the PDF early so I could take it on holiday last year!

LOL's yup order on the way and he threw in their Napoleonics for me as well, couldn't help myself had to download the rules on PDF and oh yeh bang on the money shame some other notorious others seem to have plagarised their good work  still I'll not digress.

Great service, great rules now time to draft up an order for Leon
