My wife doesn't play wargames, or should I say didn't!
We played star and Garter tonight for the first time; me French, her English. She kicked my arse! Her spies nobbled one of my knights before the battle even started and then she shredded me with a combination of longbows and solid rallying by her king.
THE SHAME OF IT, I even wrote the flipping rules!
Off to bed.....
Craig :P
No shame in that
;D ;D ;D

Never met a game designer, self included, who did well at their own game.

Well, still beats the family think i'm playing with toys
:D ;D
You're in the same company as Rick Priestley, so no shame there then. Now as others have said, the rules work perfectly well in that the English won :D. Huzzah!
Oh and well done on getting a family member to play a wargame. As you know my sole family interest is my son having his Daleks blow up every tank in sight! Once he's achieved total victory, off he goes...

Hi there
Occasionally I manage to talk my missus and my daughter into having a game. However, I have never yet managed to win one game they have such an amazing luck with the dice it is totally unreal.
Take care
Andy
My wife isn't interested in doing it anymore....I can only play by myself now in the back bedroom now....Not as much fun but at least I get a result

I used to play with someone who did that. Under his rules the best unit to clear a wood was the Polish Guard Lancers! Que? :o
