Re: Presenting CoC for new players at a shop

We have one - possibly two - potential new players that we are Probing in about 9 hours time. I'll let you know how that goes.

Seconded, big time. 9"appears to allow the greatest degree of flexibility in this regard.

Re: “A war of empires” Robert Lyman

As somebody who has collected an Indian National Army platoon (and scribbled some rules for its use), War In the East has very much piqued my interest.

Re: COC Espana - recommened reading list

I tend to enjoy the memoirs of the actual soldiery as much as the large scale strategic studies. So within that context, I would second Peter's recommendation of Homage to Catalonia (Orwell fought in an Anarchist unit), and also suggest Crusade in Spain by Jason Gurney (who was a member of the Inter...

Re: Return to Transylvania

Return to Transylvania

I'm entering Sharp Practice (and a certain Napoleonic Gothic Horror skirmish game) with a return to my first ever gaming army, collected back in 1975: Austrians. Except, this time, with more of a focus on the forces guarding the borders with the Ottomans (and their unruly local leaders). This is a p...
