How come question 4 is still being written out verbatim? Is everyone on this forum Hungarian apart from me? Now, let's go through it very slowly and loudly:

4) and... was this the first time you used this rules set?

See ..... easy isn't it!

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game?
2) What armies were confronted?
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset?
4) and... was the first time do you use the ruleset?
5) How many players were in the game?
1) FogR
2) Montrose Scots vs English ECW Parliamentarians
3) Yes and No! It was a learning game, we have both only played three times before and this was our first time solo, so trying to get into the rules without too much Umpire help. Umpire helped, a lot! 
4) third game but first solo.
5) two.

1/ Megablitz, in 20mm for the minis, with 1:25000 ground scale

2/ Operation Battle Axe in '41 so 7th Armoured versus 21st Panzer (we were only doing the desert side not the fighting on the escarpment and Hellfire Pass)

3/ Yes, in rules terms. No, in visuals. One model is a battalion, ground scale is such that you effectively on fight in contact. Half a dozen 20mm scale tanks and infantry stands in a rugby scrum does not look right... Plans for that shelved, possibly to be revisited in 3mm!

4/ Yes - we're getting stuff sorted for WMMS in March. Circumstances have fecked us practising before now and it's going to be a last minute change of game!

5/ three - two Brits, one German.

1. Blucher
2. Austrians v. French
3. Had two games in one afternoon. In the first game I had little idea of what I was doing, but in the second it ran much more smoothly and was more enjoyable, even though I lost again.
4. This was my first go at the rules.
5. There were two players.

My regular fortnightly opponent had bought the rules plus card set and was eager to give them a try. First of all he decided that the cards, although nicely produced, did not feel right on the tabletop. Secondly he also realised that it would take him about ten years to prepare the armies he wanted to game. Consequently he produced his own playing pieces from topdowns from the web, mounted on MDF bases about 40x30mm in size. He adjusted the topdowns by adding a unit centre point, for pivoting, and also angles of fire (small yellow lines), plus the name of the unit and a national flag at the back of the unit. It actually looked very impressive, especially as units with skirmishers out could be depicted with a front rank of skirmishers. The other advantage was that, as a consequence, a roster of losses had to be kept, but this meant the opponent was in the dark as to how close the enemy was to breaking.
