I also have Saxon and Picts done but not Scot or Irish (although they are in the backlog). i will add Welsh to the list to do. I will see if I can get time in the next week or two to publish the new lists, at the moment the ones I have done are in a spreadsheet. Worst case is they are published when I finish playing the 30 games in about 2 weeks.Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394777082320559161.post-44599012161691046872015-10-13T04:16:53.585+10:002015-10-13T04:16:53.585+10:00I was introduced to your Ancient Battles Clash rul...I was introduced to your Ancient Battles Clash rules on Facebook today. I am particularly interested in Dark Ages and have printed your Late Anglo Saxons list and I see that you have Vikings here. Have you put the army list for them somewhere, please?<br />Welsh and Scots would also be handy for fighting Late Anglo Saxons :0)nobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02552663142940856622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394777082320559161.post-34035082697123731732015-10-09T17:25:20.464+10:002015-10-09T17:25:20.464+10:00I have never thought of a moobile tray - that is a...I have never thought of a moobile tray - that is a really good idea if I did not have the map drawers. I also have a foldaway antique side table (with two flaps on either side) that becomes either 3'x5' or 3'x3'. I've used that a few times for gaming but it has just become the children's homework table.Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394777082320559161.post-88758160995689082452015-10-09T11:34:49.280+10:002015-10-09T11:34:49.280+10:00I need a mobile tray that I can wheel in an out of...I need a mobile tray that I can wheel in an out of the living room.

So while my wife it watching TV, I am less than 10ft away. It also makes it easy to grab 10 mins as I can just pop in from the kitchen or wherever for the short time as a quick break. <br /><br />Yeah, i know we are in for a world of pain. I just like to think I am in denial :-) Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394777082320559161.post-92033832080858602362015-10-08T11:04:54.092+10:002015-10-08T11:04:54.092+10:00Shaun,

Pretty cool that you're able to make it work for you. I've got to settle on a few hours on Saturday and Sunday mornings. ;)<br /><br />And you must be joking about your daughter! My daughter turns 9 at the end of this month. Pain is definitely in our future...<br /><br />V/R,<br />JackJust Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394777082320559161.post-47700335884623630842015-10-08T06:30:37.073+10:002015-10-08T06:30:37.073+10:00Hello Jack,
It is getting easier to play the game...Hello Jack,<br /><br />It is getting easier to play the games - I have a well worked system now for getting the figures off the table and choosing the ones for the next battle. It is also getting easier as I am refamiliarising myself with my ancients collection, and so easier to grab the figures I need. it is just over an hour a game spread out over the day. About half the battles have been played over multiple sessions as it is easy to grab 5-10 minutes here and there than 30 minutes in one go. I know you don't do this but I am finding it quite easy, probably due to the small number of units and the fact units are always activated right to left,<br /><br />10mm would work fine, and work fine with most rules. I am not sure my rules would be the best introduction to ancient gaming. Other rules also have better primers - there is a very good one out for DBA (very popular ruleset and worth trying) that is also an ancients wargaming primer as well.<br /><br />My daughter is about to turn 9 and I think I may be in for 10 years of pain :-) But you never know!.Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394777082320559161.post-27281032931997453192015-10-08T00:22:53.101+10:002015-10-08T00:22:53.101+10:00Oh, and the little one is too cute!

My hat is off to you!<br /><br />So, when you finish your rules and are ready to unleash them on the world, you need to include a primer that explains what the heck all those different troop types are, their capabilities, and what they're used for. You know, so guys that don't know anything about this stuff can get into this type of gaming ;)<br /><br />Along those lines, do you remember those 10mm guys I had back in my "For My Buddies" post? Would they work for this kind of stuff? I can picture you laughing at me; stop it! I know nothing of this old stuff...<br /><br />V/R,<br />JackJust Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.com
