Thanks very much for that. Problem is I don't know how to PM or what it stands for.

Sorry DP 

Thanks Fenton

PM received loud and clear. Many thanks Paul.

We had indeed noted that the production values are not as high as some of the Lardies later rules. Once you get past the 'cosmetic' challenges the rules work very well and give a very good game.

If you PM me I am happy to send you a revised QRS I put together. It has two pages that covers the tables etc you need to play the game with supporting definitions. In addition there are two more pages that summarise the other main rules limiting reference to the rule book.

You're indeed right about the production values, if you go back to Triumph of the Will which was the distant base for ITLSU then you can see that the rules were beaten severely with the 'Vagueness Stick'!  . Still an enjoyable set of rules but not with the gloss of their later offerings. Luckily there is a large and friendly support group on Yahoo that can sort out most issues.

Any chance of the revised QRS for ITLSU?

Cheers

We are certainly enjoying them and are a friendly enough group of players to deal amicably with the effects of the 'Vagueness Stick'.

Is there an ITLSU Yahoo group? I have found the TFL Yahoo group and while they are a friendly bunch they seem to be focused on big CoC  at the moment and my ITLSU questions get lost in the flood.

Happy to share my QRS and to recieve feedback if you PM your email address. It is a bit more than a QRS, it aims to let us play based on four pages as we bounce from period to period. As a group we play about 6-8 rule sets semi-regularly so need a bit of guidance rather than just the tables 

Have you tried the TFL forum? I found it much easier to follow than the chaos that is yahoo! Groups.

Thanks for the tip. Yahoo is a disaster area.

TFL Forum page on ITLSU is pretty sparse unfortunately...total of 18 posts on 7 topics compared to 7447 posts on 787 topics on their Chain of Command forum page......

WWII is not really my thing, but that set of rules is very, very popular with the WWII bunch.

Finished base coating next batch, 2 dismounted cavalry regiments and 2 infantry battalions, all British

Also processed my photos from day 1 of Call to Arms. I have posted a couple in this thread http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,10436.msg127176.html#new

Peter will use more pictures in his battle report.

Had a look for the photos but not able to find them. Had a go at painting some Germans lat night and very pleased with the results. Tried Miniature Paints 9, Stone Green, but decided it was too light. Then mixed it 50:50 with Vallejo 70904, Dark Blue Grey, which produced a really good result. I used the Dark Blue Grey for trousers on some infantry figures and also used it as the whole uniform for a uhlan and some officers. I then did the senior commander with the Dark Blue Grey for his tunic and Val 943 Grey Blue for his trousers, to try and give the impression of finer quality cloth. I then tried Val 70.917 Beige as a helmet cover, along with 991 Dark Sea Grey, both of which gave a good result. I may well use helmet covers to differentiate between regulars and reservists. All these figures were for 1914. Will probably start a Western Front thread to post photos.

Sorry DP pictures should be up now, I found I couldn't copy the links on my tablet so had to wait till I got home 

I used 920 German Uniform as the base colour and dry brushed with one of 972 Light Green Blue, 905 Blue Grey Pale, or 991 Dark Sea Grey for jacket or trousers to give a varied look.

Helmet covers were 988 Khaki / 884 Stone Grey, 988 Khaki / 847 Dark Sand, 917 Beige / 884 Stone Grey (base / dry brush)

Found the pics and they look really good.

Two out of three dry brush colours done on the British 

Will do the third tonight and then rifles

Nice to be back painting after a few days "off" in the run up to Call to Arms
