Arriba Espana!: An idea

I have had an idea ... and for once, I don’t think that it is a duff one!

I had pretty well finished revamping ARRIBA ESPANA! for republication, and then I thought ‘why don’t I add a simple set of PORTABLE SPANISH CIVIL WAR WARGAME rules to the book?’ This will not only bring it right up to date with regards to my current wargame design concepts, but also gives readers the opportunity to see how it has changed and developed over the years.

Am I deluding myself, or is this a good idea?

  1. Bob,
    An excellent idea, IMHO. Historical information plus a set of period specific PW rules seems an ideal combination for a new wargame book. Go for it!

  3. Well as the original rules were designed for a "normal" sized table I think that a Portable appendix would be a great idea.I hope this finds you well.
    Take Care,

  4. Hello there Bob,

    I think that is an excellent idea! Two sets of rules for the price of one and two quite different approaches to tabletop games in the period. I could almost see this morphing into the Portable Spanish Civil War Wargame with a set of Arriba Espana! Included....You would have to fight a battle to be included though!

    All the best,

  5. That is a very good idea. Another arrow in the PW quiver.

  7. No delusion, its a good idea from several angles. It adds an appropriate, effective, and easy to pick up and use set of rules, shows a different approach, but also offers choices thus encouraging thought on the readers part and offers a little extra to those with an original copy who are tempted to buy the updated version.

  9. It sounds solid to me. Additionally, you have established president with your books containing more than one rule set, so it is legitimate to add those rules. Finally, it increases likelihood of those who already have the earlier print buying the new one for updated rules, but allowing the use of the original if that is desired.
