Your post just seemed to resonate off ...Hi MS Foy,<br /><br />Your post just seemed to resonate off the page and certainly got me in a lather! Neil Thomas's book is excellent and I would recommend it unreservedly - You can pick copies up for £12 or so in hardback and it is worth every penny.<br /><br />I have a number of ideas around what you had suggested and hope to turn these into something workable over the next week or so whilst I am away.<br /><br />All the best and many thanks for the inspiration!<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-66250210628592847352014-02-10T20:44:58.315+00:002014-02-10T20:44:58.315+00:00Hi Lee,

I found MS Foy's post quite by accident as it predated me 'following' his blog - but I am very glad I did so!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-6412407523096287022014-02-10T20:43:07.005+00:002014-02-10T20:43:07.005+00:00Hi Michael,

The blocks look really good but are a little lost when used on a 4" Hexon tile which is why I prefer to use my own as they are larger.<br /><br />My ideas are really just making use of assorted good bits, sticking them together and seeing what comes out the other side!<br /><br />Rest assured the progress (or lack thereof) will be duly reported on the blog.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-70040843405436313662014-02-10T17:00:00.549+00:002014-02-10T17:00:00.549+00:00Most interesting.

After the basic game, I still have Austrian and Russian blocks to do, but I am forging on because a) I think this will be a good way to learn the basic battles prior to trying them with miniatures and b) once I learn C&C I can play it better via Apple Face Time with Kinch.<br />I am most interested in your ideas as to amending C&C (yours and Foy's both) and look forward to what you may have to tell us here.<br />Cheers,<br />MPMad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-72606662300237000032014-02-10T11:59:26.253+00:002014-02-10T11:59:26.253+00:00Hi David - I shall follow this with great interest...Hi David - I shall follow this with great interest - I was never completely happy with my grand tactical compromise version of C&C (as you may know!), but I think this is a useful and potential valuable area of study.
