Hi Ian,

I've sent you a private message with my email.

Again I've forgotten what happened to supressed stands in V4 but in the current version (which now seems quite stable) you apply a -1 to it's order die roll for every separate cause of supression. i.e. if a command stand is supressed due to a rolling barrage and is then caught by a mortar and supressed again this counts as two levels of supression and the stand issues (or tries to issue) orders with a -2 modifier.  All command stand supression is removed at the end of that players next turn so command supression is relatively temporary.

If a command stand is killed then it is imediately replaced with a new stand as the next ranking officer automatically takes over.  However this new command stand has a permanent -1 on all order rolls to reflect not only the loss of the CO but the new commander's inexperience and loss of key command personel like runners etc.

Hi, jumping in a little late here, are the rules at the top of this the final draft?

thanks
jon

The ones in the first post are an older copy now, I believe they've gone through a couple of changes since then.  I'm sure DanJ will confirm.

The rules have been through BetaV5, V6 and V6i, to arrive at a Production V1 set .

The version on the site are now quite old and have had a lot of changes made to them.

I'm currently waiting on feedback from a couple of groups before sending Leon the latest version.

If anyone wants a copy of the current set just send me a private email and I'll send them a copy.

Hi, I can't get the V4 version to open. It says the file is damaged. Anyone else had this problem?

I'll have a look when I get to work tomorrow, I think I've still got the file on the work machine, so I can re-upload it.

Hi Leon,

I'll send you the latest vesrion later on today.

Dan

Leon,

I've just done the new PDFs but can't remember how to get them to you

Please remind me.

Dan

You can pop them through on the Pendraken email (d.pengilley@btinternet.com) if you like?  I think when we spoke on the phone last, you were unsure how big the files were, so if they're too big for the email, you could always pop them on a CD and send them up to us?

Hi,

Latest copy of rules just emailed, files are quite manageable.

Wifey has agreed to holiday in late June and early July so it's looking good for the party.

I've got the files, thanks for sending those through.  Great news on the party, should be a great day!

Hi Leon,

Wifey has agreed to me coming to the party

I'm working on a senario based on Amiens in August 1918 to show as wide a range of Pendraken models as possible, French as well as British and German 

However I've just got an email to say someone can't down load the latest version of the rules, can you check please.

Regards

Dan

Apologies for the delay, trying to do too many things at once and forgot to upload them...  

All done now, so the new versions of the rules are now available at the start of this thread: http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,825.msg6276.html#msg6276

Excellent, awesome news.  I'll be touch soon about the details of the game!

With the WW1 anniversary coming up soon, has anyone given these rules a go, and if so do you have any feedback?

I've just seen these rules linked through from TMP, to Miniature Wargames - then done some googling, and ended up back at Pendraken!!

I've been looking through these this morning, and working out some figures and base counts.

For a test game or two, how important is it to have individual platoon bases? I have lots of WWII based on 50x30mm bases, which is pretty much the same as 4 of the FF platoon bases ranked up. I am happy to use dice to mark wounds, rather than removing stands.

While in the medium term I'm more than happy to buy more Pendraken, I'm also aware of the number of projects I have on the go, and the finite amount of painting time I have.

just bought MW with the article, excellent read

Downloaded and will take a look.

The colour quotes are a little jarring.

They are best described as anti-Govish, which given the current debate makes the rules look poorly researched,

Have been trying out some 1914 ideas but a couple of questions arose. When a battalion issues orders to a company does it mean that the company can spend the number of actions on its platoons? For example a coy receives 2 actions, does this mean that it can activate 2 platoons or that each platoon can do 2 things?  Can the 2 actions be the same, ie. a platoon could fire twice?
Also, why does a command stand have a modifier in close combat?

Thanks for any help

I'm really impressed by these Dan!

The Great War has always held my interest historically but really haven't come across rules which seemed interesting to play beyond 1914. Okay, I admit I am choosing 1918 and the rebirth of more mobile warfare for my armies but these make me think I might actually try something a bit trenchy as well.

This is going to be my summer project. Biggest downside of WW1 terrain is making all of those bloody barbed-wire entanglements - just ordered 10 meters of (oversize at this scale) barbed wire. *sigh*
