Thanks Steve...another rulebook ordered. You're such a bad influence  ;)

Can you send the nurse over again please?  ;D

Wow, that's a good price! I will check these out for future purchases... :D.

I  must admit I recently found Speedyhen and have been very impressed.

I just managed to get 2 FOG suppliments for less than 8quid each (not for use with FOG but for the army lists) and The Force on Force Bush Wars book (again for the background info and army lists) for just over 8 quid......all post free!

New and cheaper than Ebay!

Cheers,

I would have saved £5 or more ordering from Speedy Hen if I'd known about them last month!

It is a nice book, and the lists from the kickstarter are still coming every few weeks too. Not sure how many new lists have been added so far since then, but it's quite a few. I think they're all available on the BF&S website too if you didn't do the kickstarter.

Still trying to summon the energy to give this a go. I have the book, I have the figures already to go, but my gaming mojo has been seriously in decline since late last year.

I haven't raised a brush in anger since October, have played two solo games since December (and packed both games away early because I got bored a few moves in) and I haven't been to the club since December. :o

Yes works busy, and yes I'm studying. I've joined a gym and smash myself four to five times a week and I've also joined a new volleyball club and train once a week and play most weekends. Pre-season cricket has kicked in and training is in full swing. I'm also mentoring some new coaches under the new ECB coaching scheme.... busy boy, but thoroughly enjoying the new fitness regime which I have neglected for far too long :)

In between watching the six-nations and The Musketeers and there seems to be little time for anything else, but wargaming has certainly taken a back seat - simply not feeling the love for it at the moment. ???
I don't think my wife likes me very much, when I had a heart attack she wrote for an ambulance.

Hang in the Nosher. Your wargaming Mojo will refill.

You'll find yourself in a beach volleyball game with bikini clad lovelies thinking "I wonder if the WWI Pendraken Highlanders would be suitable for 1940." You'll be massaging your box in the slips pondering the relative merits of the longbow and the musket or you'll be watching some young lady on the running machine thinking "that's the same motion as captured in SF21x." Perhaps you'll see an episode of "The Musketeers" and think, "Hmm, FSN is right and they're not giving Constance enough to do, but this episode gives me an idea for a scenario" or you'll be watching the rugby and thinking "no, this is actually very boring, I think I'll go and play with myself." and toddle off to the games room.   

ECB will give way to ECW and you'll be back.

If not, post some pics of your collection, and I think I deserve a 10% discount.

Too much exercise is as bad as too little. Don't leave your best performances (whatever they be) on the training ground.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

I have a day off today and have been trying to read through the rules...

The Fast Play Sheet is very poorly laid out and pivotal sections appear to be missing from it. I cant think of another ruleset where I am having to flick from one page to another to work out sequences of play quite as much as I am having to do so with this set.

This definately isn't a pick up and play game - even at skirmish level. It has taken me the best part of the morning to figure out two opposing forces, get my head around the scenario and work out how to incorporate all of the additional set up rules depending on the scenario.

Feeling like I need another nights sleep before having another go at making things make sense... ~X(
