Over the past week or so there have been some very interesting battle reports on the PORTABLE WARGAME Facebook page.
Paul David Leeson concluded his Battle of Fuentes de Onoro by refighting the second day of the battle ...
... and Jesus Cortes fought a fantasy battle set in 1500 in a plague-ridden Europe with his son.
At the same time, Martin Smith continued to fight the latest battle in his Snake Valley ACW campaign (which uses the Snakes & Ladders Campaign system) ...
... and Spencer CF staged a huge Ancients battle!
At the same time, Alan Stewart shared his Retreating house rule on his Donjondo webpage.
All in all, it has been a very interesting and inspiring time for users of the PORTABLE WARGAME.

Thanks for the mention in despatches Bob!
ReplyDeleteDonjondo,
DeleteIt was a pleasure to do so; you certainly deserved it!
All the best,
Bob
What's the Snakes and Ladders campaign system?
ReplyDeleteHave just ordered a squared dry-erase board that will fit on my table; I'll be able to mark it up and then try running PWG with paper figures on something larger and nicer than a chess board. Has anyone had success using the Perrys' TravelBattle set for this?
Jennifer,
DeleteIf you follow the link to the relevant blog post (https://wargamingmiscellany.blogspot.com/2021/03/snakes-ladders-campaign-system.html), it should explain the basics of the system.
I have certainly used the Perry TRAVEL BATTLE for PW battles, but have not reported them on my blog as they were essentially set up to test mechanisms.
All the best,
Bob
Thank you! That is a very useful-looking system, will certainly try it.
DeleteJennifer,
DeleteIt is particularly useful for solo wargame campaigns.
All the best,
Bob
