I have just uploaded a new YouTube video to the Wargaming Miscellany YouTube channel.
It lasts approximately nine and a half minutes.
The video can be found here on the Wargaming Miscellany YouTube channel.
A PDF of these rules can be found on the Portable Wargame Facebook page.
Bob, excellent video - as I've commented on You Tube - that makes a great introduction to both the original Shambattle and your Portable version thereof. Looking forward to watching the playtest very much!
ReplyDeleteVery pleased to read in your earlier post that you managed to get upstairs despite not being able to use the stairlift. I hope that will become easier with time and practice.
I will be working on some pieces for the next PW Compendium today and hope to send you at least one of them by this evening.
Best wishes,
Arthur

DeleteI’m very pleased that you like the video. It - and the battle report - is base on some blog posts I wrote some time ago. I am thinking of doing some development of the rules so I can use it with my Belle Epoque collection to fight short campaigns.
My improved mobility has been a bit of a surprise to me, but my exercise regime and the need to overcome the stairlift problem has motivated me to quite literally take those extra steps.
Funnily enough, I should have a piece for the compendium completed soon, and if you could proofread it I’d be very grateful.
All the best,
Bob
It will - as always - be my pleasure to do so, Bob.
DeleteDeveloping Portable Shambattle for Belle Epoque campaigns seems like a very good idea.

DeleteCheers … and adding the PW ShamBattle rules to the compendium makes a lot of sense.
All the best,
Bob
A great video and interesting game. Will it be included in the next Portable Wargame Compendium?
ReplyDeleteMark Cordone,
DeleteI’m pleased that you enjoyed the video … and I am giving serious consideration to adding the PW ShamBattle rules to the next compendium.
All the best,
Bob
Great! I'll have a look at this video as soon as I get to a computer with sound, as this one doesn't have any. I first saw information about Sham-Battle on the late Thor Sheil's websites. There he also had several other rules, like the Sandpit or Jersey Shore toy soldier rules. It was these rules that actually got me into wargaming some 7 or 8 years ago,
ReplyDeleteRoger,
DeleteI hope that you won’t be disappointed having to listen to my voice narrating the video!
I always enjoyed my visits to Thor Sheil’s website and luckily it still seems to be online. Hopefully it will remain so.
All the best,
Bob
