New stuff

 Ordered this book after hearing about it on the VWC group:

A good and lively book; I'm just past Dettingen. The author makes the characters and maneuvers surprisingly comprehensible, even though there's a lot of people and places to track. He points out specifically that there are four important Charleses alone. But the clarity is surprising, despite sparse maps. The major battles are at least given several pages each - which you don't always see in large-scale histories. There were three or four major theatres, and with all the German and Italian city-states there is fodder for Imagi-nation campaigning. Very enjoyable - recommended.

This morning I also received a shipment from a fellow on Facebook who was selling his old TSATF supplements. Now I have:

An extra, less worn copy of the rules.

The "big battles" variant, 800 Fighting Englishmen.

Varying action decks (taking the place of playing cards for 
turn and casualty determination; and "special event" decks
for adding variant elements to scenarios (reinforcements, delays, etc).

Two dozen scenarios.

Sample scenario and map.

Unexpected: Card QRS sheets and unit cards.
No need to copy them from the book now!

A bit more reading material - variant rules, tactical tips,
a French North Africa variant, and my favorite - 
material from the Major General's club that,
to my recollection, isn't on the site!

So while I may not be gaming this weekend, rest assured I won't be idle!

The local club has also had a massive donation of minis, terrain and books, so I will really have to get over there one of these weekends to have a look (and help organize). Hope you too are enjoying yourselves. Til next time -
