    S & P 44

    Hehe Much as I'd love to give you the credit, it was down to bodging around with some word roots and translations.... And a bonus point to anyone who can work out the origins of "Zapasnova"

    ISA Tactical Manual from S&P

    To defend Alan on this one, he has already mentioned this article was written a while back and some corrections and changes have occured since. Both Ian and myself spend time going through articles and correcting the any "obvious" errors we see. Sometimes others slip through the net...

    Sorry, used the working title instead of the published one!

    Zapasnovan war : Scenario 2

    Will see what I can do, once we've ironed out the crinkles ;) I'm awake now :) No mans land extends to 12" then ;)

    Zapasnovan war : Scenario 2

    Sorry, haven't been on the forums lately and missed this! After looking at it again, I can only say "I screwed up"... Sorry 'bout that :( The original scenario was "get one *infantry* model across", and a shorter distance, but because it turned out near impossible to do I made a last-second...

    Why does mongoose release an incomplete game?

    *pops head out from under a pile of work for a moment* Hey, LBH, are the rumours of you stripping the paint off your BF Evo minis so they match the rest of your Mongoose minis collection correct? :)

    BFEvo.com looking for co-admins

    A while back I put up BFEvo.com in the hope of creating a real "community" site, as in one that people could actually contribute to and build directly wiki-style instead of having to send in submissions. Unfortunately I haven't had the time to work on it that I hoped for, and am looking for a...

    Doctor Who/Torchwood

    CoC also works perfectly for the Pertwee era :) A modified set of RQ rules would fit pretty darned well. I should of course also mention OGL Horror.

    What makes a great game sytem IYHO

    Games which play the way you expect them to, not with obscure rules you have to keep looking up. If it feels like you're playing a glorified board game, someone screwed up. If it feels like you're really "there", someone got it right. The less you need to look things up on tables, the better...

    get space hulk off GW (SST hulk/compound clearance)

    I wish. Unfortunately I'll have to point out all the reasons why it's unlikely. The rights to the game would (approx 99.9% probability) have to be devoid of 40K universe elements (GW are very protective of it, and I can't imagine them letting a competitor anywhere near their IP), so that just...

    Newbie wants books!

    If the reprint has been cancelled (and I don't know whether it has or not), it's likely down to Matthew's announcement here: http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=23286 Mongoose are producing a new Lone Wolf RPG to go with the new gamebooks (due out late 2007/early 2008, so...

    BF Evo Scale Comparison

    Standard is (usually) 25mm diameter, these are 22mm. I see no reason why you couldn't rebase these if you really wanted to, other than some people at tournaments complaining that they force the minimum seperation distance out by a few mm :) Thickness is about 2mm compared to about 4mm. As...

    MRQ Wiki Question...

    If you're able to export and import into alternative wiki software, I'll happily provide free hosting for any wiki software you'd like to use.

    BF Evo Scale Comparison

    From what I can tell, they're pretty much on scale for SST - once you shave the SST figure's base down there's maybe 3mm in it, which can be attributed to the cap trooper armour. What I'd really like to see is a BF Evo mini next to a plastic LAMI (the metal LAMI seemed a little too big next to...

    BF Evo Scale Comparison

    And here's one for measuring: The ruler is sitting about 1mm off the base on top of the sand at the back.
