Modern Warfare from Afghanistan to N. Africa to Mexico, and from the 20th C. to the Near Future! Saturday, February 21, 2015. One - Hour Wargames WWII Batrep: #8 Melee - redux. Below, Turn 1 end. End of Turn 2. The mortars move again since they've no targets. I figured they looked better behind the hill hull down, altho this could count as out of LoS since they are Mortars. Must keep up appearances! The two armor platoons continue to the hill. Clearly, they'll be on it hull down Turn 3. Tremendous firepo...

Up the Blue!: Neil Thomas: "One - Hour Wargames" WWII Rules - Review and thoughts
http://upthebluefow.blogspot.com/2015/01/neil-thomas-one-hour-wargames-wwii.html
Modern Warfare from Afghanistan to N. Africa to Mexico, and from the 20th C. to the Near Future! Tuesday, January 27, 2015. Neil Thomas: "One - Hour Wargames" WWII Rules - Review and thoughts. Well, perhaps I have something of a "Neil Thomas Problem" [which is definitely a "first world problem"! I read the NT rules for 1HW:WWII a while back soon after getting the book. I have to admit I thought they were woefully inadequate at first - they're so minimal as to be sparse. But lately I've been readi...A fas...

Modern Warfare from Afghanistan to N. Africa to Mexico, and from the 20th C. to the Near Future! Sunday, February 15, 2015. One - Hour Wargames WWII Batrep: #8 Melee, p.1. Not to mention the fact that NT has proven me wrong before, so it's worth showing some humility! I decided to pick a scenario I already know well and have played several times. #8 Melee is a "grab the center objective" scenario with sequential reinforcements as shown below:. How to put onto the table? As the rules call for a 4-6" front...

Modern Warfare from Afghanistan to N. Africa to Mexico, and from the 20th C. to the Near Future! Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Just before I left I was working on the 2nd draft of my modifications of the 1HW rules, and playing out scenarios with my WWII desert Brits and Italians. Continuing in that direction, future posts will be:. Finish draft and do a playtest, then post a batrep for a workable draft of the rules. If ideas/concepts flop in execution, then just post what didn't work. SPEAR TO THE STRIFE.

Thursday, October 3, 2013. Review: "Turncoat's Drum" by Nicholas Carter. While I do like to encourage anyone to write any fiction about the ECW, I find myself struggling to like Nicholas Carter or his writing. What kind of author dwells on the negative qualities of their own creations? I recommend you give this and all his books...
