Work on the PORTABLE WARGAME: MODERN rules continues apace ... but this morning I was faced with a dilemma; should I finish the draft I am working on or should I go to the SELWG show at Crystal Palace?
I gave this conundrum all of three seconds thought before deciding that I could go to SELWG before lunch and finish the draft of PW:M during the late afternoon and evening ... so just before 10.00am I set off to cross South London by car. The journey there took me just over twenty minutes (the return journey took me over twice as long!) and by 10.25am I had paid my entrance money and was in the venue.
Having only just returned I have not yet had time to write a blog entry about the show, but once I have completed the draft of my PW:M rules, it will be the next thing that I will do.

Alan. P.S Do you know if anyone has applied the portable war games format to ancients?
I succumbed to temptation today and sent off for the History of Wargames volume you were involved in about Joe M and his rules,can't wait to read it...
Tradgardmastare (Alan),
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed going to SELWG ... and will be writing a blog entry about what I did and saw later this evening.
In the book you have bought from John Curry you will find a copy of an article that was originally published in the Winter 1967 issue of The Miniature Parade (Volume I Number II). It describes Joseph Morschauser's gridded Ancient game (including the rules he used) ... so I suppose that in a way the answer to your question is a qualified 'Yes'.
All the best,
Bob
