Don't think I'll be getting any markers. They seem too toyish at first impression. Yeah, I know. A daft thing to say, especially when Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:26:36 GMT fusilier_general http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/fusiliers/message/19311 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/fusiliers/message/19311 I like the way Casemate UK's website describes the 'Black Powder' rules: "Black Powder is Warlord Games' first publication. It is a beautiful book in its own Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:21:56 GMT fusilier_general http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/fusiliers/message/19310 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/fusiliers/message/19310 Three or four Groups and a few Big Men each, I think, in our first 28mm 'Sharp Practice' game.

Yep, a game of 'Sharp Practice' would be good.

Some interesting stuff. Liked the inkscape thingy for map making - have downloaded to give it a whirl.

Haven't looked at it to be honest - currently more interested in... trains. I also received about 20 more 40mm naps this week.

I think as you say a rulebook per side would indeed be useful. I've downloaded the play sheet, so will Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:07:54 GMT fusilier_general http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/fusiliers/message/19300 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/fusiliers/message/19300 Agreed, Scott. Though, thinking back, nicely presented rules are not a new thing (though ther style of the presentation has changed over the years). Think Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:58:29 GMT fusilier_general http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/fusiliers/message/19299 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/fusiliers/message/19299 Yes, very GW, Battlefront, Warhammer Historical-ish ... in other words, very enticing! And it is not only the high production values that make them so; it is Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:19:24 GMT Scott & Tracey Bowman http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/fusiliers/message/19298 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/fusiliers/message/19298 Well I stand corrected, Pete, and its a good thing too, as to be honest, all that delicious eye candy, will always be a real motivator for wargaming in
