Title: CWC (from last year...but shh, no-one will know!)
Post by: madaxeman on 30 June 2022, 09:30:15 PM
With the new edition of CWC coming put from Pendraken recently, I remembered I hadn't posted a load of photos I took of a CWC Big Game (OK, 9x4 table with 1/300th scale models) that we played last autumn in Brixham after the Brixham Classic.

So, with a bit of time on my hands, here they all are shufled together into a single page 'lite' battle report (the ones here are just a taster) https://www.madaxeman.com/reports/CWC_2021.php

Good looking table. 

Though you could do with some small dice for wound markers (unless they are small dice and 6mm is even smaller than I remember!)

They are pretty small - much smaller and I find it gets hard to pick them up !

The vehicles are generally on 20mm wide bases, so the dice must be around 12mm I think ?

They do look around 12mm size, we tend to use the 7mm dice https://www.pendraken.co.uk/7mm-dice-879-c.asp for wound markers. They are OK to pick-up, but can be a little fiddly to rotate to find the next number. But they do take up a lot less space on the table.

Would green dice blend into the table a bit more :-\

Why would you want them to? Surely the point of a marker is to be visible?

Visible but not too visible

If the information is open I want to be able to see it from space not hunt around for it like a man searching a blacked out room for a black cat that might not be there. :)

Is that a cat in the box ... 'maybe?'  ;)

    A mathematician is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black hat which isn't there.

    A metaphysician is a man who goes into a dark cellar at midnight without a light looking for a black cat that is not there.

    The philosopher is likened to a 'blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that is not there.'

The first statement has been attributed to the famous scientist Charles Darwin while the second has been linked to the notable English judge Lord Bowen, and the third has been credited to the renowned philosopher William James.

All three are likely misquotes and probably misattributions.

If one is blind, why would it matter if it was dark, or what colour the item is?
