Re: Sharp Practice 2: two interpretations
开云体育
Hi Jim
Good to hear from you. Yes, all fine up here, thanks. I've been keeping busy with IABSM solo and doing a lot of terrain stuff as well as a new caulk mat inspired by Pat Smith's second volume of Setting the Scene. If you can remember my games room, I've given
it a bit of a refurb which involved a new dark green walled look, more cupboards, low hanging "snooker" lights over the table to replace the spotlights and a lovely leather armchair which Dianne kindly suggested I take over from the house!?
Hopefully, gaming with my two close wargaming mates won't be long off now - have you decided when the club will be able to start meeting again?
Best wishes to all and look forward to seeing you before too much longer - maybe at Border Reiver?
Mick

Hi Stephen
I agree with what Peter said, the bonus die is always available for movement (Table 6 p32 states that clearly).
Best wishes
Mick

Re: Sharp Practice 2: two interpretations
I've always read that rule as they get an extra dice which can only be used for movement. Can be used at any point in their activation, like any other dice. Simple as that. Cheers, Jim On Sat, 10 Apr 2021 10:29 Peter Mellett, <pjm@...> wrote:

Re: Sharp Practice 2: two interpretations
Skirmishers get the bonus dice of movement when they're activated so they can always move 1d6 and then have their two actions as normal. You are free to use the two actions in any way you like. I don't think the bonus die has to be used first, or at least that's not specified. Light Infantry and Skirmishers get an additional movement Action each time they are activated. This can only be used for movement. Irregular Skirmishers do not have this benefit. Cheers, Pete On Apr 10 2021, at 8:40 am, Stephen Caddy <stephen.f.caddy@...> wrote:

Sharp Practice 2: two interpretations
A rules query,
light troops get a bonus dice of movement. Can they use this every turn or can they only use it as a bonus when they are using one or both actions for movement i.e. do they have to be moving to get the extra dice? Watching an AAR online, I realised that the players interpreted the rule differently from me. Thanks Stephen |

Re: Algeron
“Algy Flies Again” also known as “What a Fokker”, a hexless version, was in development last summer when I had a few socially distanced garden games with Rich. The basic mechanisms were in place and it would have then been a case of fine tuning. However repeated lockdowns have paused the process.
I suspect that when we return to a more normal way of life then WAF will return but as you may guess, there is quite a backlog on Lard Island to do! It may therefore be ready by “Easter” - just not sure which one! Don |

Re: Algeron
开云体育Aahh, Algy. One of my favourite TFL games. To be honest Algy was never really in print. Version 1 was based on BTH, then you had Hexless-Algy where Rich was developing a mechanism so you didn't need a hex-mat to play it on. I believe it's one of a number of rules due out at Easter. Unfortunately it wasn't this year. Chris On 08/04/2021 03:23, Rob Roy wrote:

Algeron is in the specials of the magazines for 2009,if that is of any use.

Re: Hussites in SP2
Tom, There is a version of Sharp Practice for the Wars of the Roses. Original was in on of the specials but it has been updated and improved. This will probably be your best place to start. You'll find a copy of these in the files section of the Facebook page for Sharp Practice. Allan.

Hi Tom, Can’t say that I’ve ever seen anyone attempt to push the SP2 rules back so far. The 2017 Summer Special contains an article “Sharply Buffed” which adapts the rules for warfare in the late 16th Century which might give you some ideas though. John |

Hussites in SP2
开云体育
This may be a goofy idea but ever since I fell in love with the Hussites (decades ago), I've been trying to get them on the table.? I've only played SP2 a couple of fimes but I'm suddenly wondering if it is flexible to accomodate the Hussite Wars.? So.... the
obvious question is whether any of the local gurus has done work in this area.
TIA

开云体育I used to fret about getting my AFVs looking just right but then I decided that I preferred playing to painting and now I get them done pretty quickly ?

Re: WW2 88mm Flak 36
开云体育Nice work on the 88mm. And yes, like you, I find armour in Late War when there are effective AT infantry weapons and close ranges on a CoC tale, to be a support unit waiting to be destroyed. ? I purchased the 88mm because I was making an order, and I like nice models. I have way more 1/56 armour than will ever see the table, but it’s just the usual wargamer thing: I might need a Somua, or a Char B1 bis, a UNIC P107 or a King Tiger or another Sherman. And I genuinely like building and painting tank kits. ?If I put as much effort into CoC platoons as I did into models, I could cover every army, every theatres, early or late…? ? ? At one stage I counted 25 – 30 AFV waiting in my painting queue. I managed to clear all my existing vehicle kits (26 of them) this week, so what do I do? Buy an 88, a Marmon Herrington, two Italian tankettes and a Japanese artillery piece. It’s an addiction. ? Doug ? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]
