I have a couple of ideas to play around with so watch this space.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-76881255168297565792020-02-18T12:20:22.858+00:002020-02-18T12:20:22.858+00:00Hi Archduke,

Can you squeeze the figures onto 1.5" bases?

As long as it feels right then it must be right has been my mantra for a few years now and so I hope that these rules will reflect this.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-88347506243941442202020-02-18T08:11:01.693+00:002020-02-18T08:11:01.693+00:00Hi nundanket,

Not that i've played them but I find them an interesting read.Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-24072382643841925272020-02-17T18:52:32.324+00:002020-02-17T18:52:32.324+00:00Interesting post David.

I found that sometimes my own wants pushed up against the constraints of ‘off the shelf’ rules so much I couldn’t reconcile the competing tensions I ended up starting almost from scratch.<br /><br />Whilst I’ve got the basic structure complete to my satisfaction, there’s still a lot of challenges to be resolved.<br /><br />I’ll be keeping an eye out for updates on your rule development.nundankethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895608927860103442noreply@blogger.com
