Almost as soon as I uploaded the recently updated PORTABLE WARGAME website I noticed that there were some typographical errors on some of the draft BIG BOARD PORTABLE wargames rules.
I have now had the opportunity to correct all those errors (I hope!) and I took the opportunity presented by the need to make a further update of the PORTABLE WARGAME website to:
I have now had the opportunity to correct all those errors (I hope!) and I took the opportunity presented by the need to make a further update of the PORTABLE WARGAME website to:
- Add a definition of what a 'retreat' move is to the Definitions section on all the drafts.
- Add an additional set of rules that dealt with woods to the Special Rules section on all the drafts.
- Add revised drafts of the original PORTABLE WARGAME rules to the Downloads page on the website. (The revised drafts share a common format with the BIG BOARD PORTABLE WARGAME rules and use similar mechanisms.)
Bob, check the PDF on page four, the "retreat" section. It is blurred, and printing as such.

Steven Page,
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know that there is a problem. I will take a look at the PDFs and see if I can cure the problem.
All the best,
Bob
Thanks for this Bob. I'm looking at using one of the Portable Wargames for a project at the moment.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I'm not quite clear on - if a unit moves adjacent to an enemy unit, and is eligible to fire (infantry moving one space, say) does it fire and then engage in close combat? In other words, can a unit move, fore and fight a close combat within the same activation?
Thanks.
Kaptain Kobold,
ReplyDeleteI hope that you enjoy using the rules.
I would certainly allow a Unit to advance into contact with an enemy Unit, fire at them, and then engage them in Close Combat.
All the best,
Bob
A-OK this time, Bob.
ReplyDeleteI will use these for tomorrow's "Adventure's" installment. Thanks!

Steven Page,
ReplyDeleteI don't know why it happened, but it took me a couple of attempts to convert the original document into PDF format without the text duplicating itself.
I look forward to reading your battle report on Wednesday morning.
All the best,
Bob
