I am fighting a losing battle in the bulge on my Southern front :'(

Nobby, Westmarcher,  open goal right there ; do your worst!

Just checking again.
Erm.....Are you deleting 'something else', Steve ?

If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

What goal? Oh... The one you were blocking!

;D ;D ;D

Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

I've just found an article about "Battleground" by Terry Wise in the June 1978 edition of Battle Magazine.

If anyone has watched the Waterloo episode you'll find, halfway through,  someone has taped over it with some dodgy 80's programme.

VHS cassettes,  remember them?  :)

Just watched Edgehill. A very interesting peek into the history of wargaming.

Any one know what rules they were using? That artillery range stick was impressive.

Had to explain what they were to my daughter the other day, made me feel particularly ancient.  :(

One of the Featherstone books made reference to bounce sticks etc

I still have one. Length of balsa painted to show the bounce of round-shot. I have the triangle of piano wire for grape-shot, too.

Excellent. I recall these also.  Featherstone's rules were the first 'commercial' rules I've ever played. As a teenager, I previously used my own rules and was completely unaware of what was 'out there.' I also recall a shell burst template for Featherstone's ACW rules  - each burst circle 2" diameter(?) which I think you used in conjunction with the stick.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

We still use them for our Airfix Napoleonics  ;)
Our grape-shot canister wire is a much more sophisticated shape  ;)
