| A ten year, iterative process |
Wargames Illustrated dropped through my letterbox recently and in it there is a positive review of The War of Three Kings with some pretty pictures of Nick Eyre's wonderful 1672 collection being used to illustrate the rules.
Two well produced videos have been uploaded onto YouTube also by WI and the views and likes seems to indicate we might be on to something with the...

Synthesizing.. it's what I do

| We are attempting to collate disparate information sources into a central pool and challenge some dubious 'facts' |
The process of compiling our uniform and unit history guides is one I enjoy very much. I liken it to cold-case detection work or forensic accounting... that doesn't sound hugely exciting but in fact, the activity is absorbing and extremely rewarding.
I do not see myself as an author. In...
Interview with Barry - The War of Three Kings
This interview was recorded right after we had played a game set in 1672 using Nick Eyre's wonderful collection. The game featured a numerically inferior Dutch Army taking on the mighty French during the infamous Rampjaar (Disaster Year).
Dan allows me to ramble on about the rules, why we made certain decisions and future developments from Warfare/WordTwister.

Rawdon Raises an Army, Part One
Thomas Grove - After playing a game of Beneath the Lily Banners/The War of Three Kings I was hooked. Now to create my own army.
I really enjoyed Arthur Rawdon's force from the scenario we playedso I decided I would stick with the Cock of the North. In reality Arthur's military career didn't last long. But pulling from Clarence's and Barry's alternate history I'm going to soldier on with him and...
Wandering Around Ireland, Part VII
Clarence Harrison- After trekking up and down both banks of the Boyne, we set out to find the point where the Jacobites mounted a desperate rear guard in a walled graveyard on the crest of Donore Hill. It's not on the map. We pretty much drove around the hill and tried various sheep tracks (Barry called them roads...) that led in the general direction of the peak. After several wrong turns, Barry...
Amazing stories of Derring Do from Tactica..
Having at the last minute decided not to run this game at Partizan in favour of a Flanders Bash it is nice to give it one last airing here with some 'real life war stories' from the field of battle in Germany..
Our Great German Horse race ran five times during the Tactica show. We entertained German, Danish and English players and ended...

The Walls of Limerick, Part III
Clarence Harrison- I've made some progress on my project for the Guns of August show this summer. It is August 24th-26th and I am definitely attending, though I will only be there Saturday and Sunday. The plan is to run the game twice on Saturday and once on Sunday. I have more detail to do on the walls of Limerick, but some of that will be easier do once the models are attached to the tiles....
Wandering Around Ireland, Part VI
Clarence Harrison - After deciding no one was going to attempt to follow in the steps of the Dutch Guard and cross the river, we climbed back up onto the road. Walking north we climbed a steep rise and then turned east to walk the area where the Williamite forces advanced. The area was enclosed in a cattle fence, though luckily there were no livestock present that day.
I thought this was a cool bit...

Building up the Panzer Division: Imperial Cuirassiers
Why would you not want to build the army that consistently contributed to the defence of Christian Europe and to facing down Christian Europe's most powerful Catholic monarch?
The Austrians/Habsburgs/Holy Roman Empire/Imperialist Army is the Janus of continental Europe - looking both South and North(west) at once.
For some reasons I always think the Austrians don't get a fair kick at the ball....
