Even in fancy, I never rise much above the rank of brigadier.Conrad Kinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683395740934527502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-45385422127465700892009-01-30T09:56:00.000+00:002009-01-30T09:56:00.000+00:00Interestingly I know that Richard Brooks (one of t...Interestingly I know that Richard Brooks (one of the designers of the RED SQUARE series of rules that my own RED FLAGS AND IRON CROSSES were based on) is working on a very simple but elegant design for a game entitled 'SOLFERINO IN TEN MINUTES'. This will be the game run by WARGAME DEVELOPMENTS at SALUTE 2009. It uses an 8 x 8 grid (like a chess board) with the pieces representing divisions and commanders. The playtest pictures I have seen have a very abstract and elegant touch about them.Robert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-83422383481871948242009-01-30T03:50:00.000+00:002009-01-30T03:50:00.000+00:00I'm really tending towards the more abstract and e...I'm really tending towards the more abstract and elegant game as well...littlejohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02469282002961211617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-17625924956585947022009-01-29T10:30:00.000+00:002009-01-29T10:30:00.000+00:00It is the look that I was aiming at.

It looks a bit like the games that Joseph Morschauser played, although in the long run I may well end up with something that looks more like the image of Gerard de Gre's game.Robert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-67009121412690487892009-01-29T10:14:00.000+00:002009-01-29T10:14:00.000+00:00I like the squared surface and the little wooden h...I like the squared surface and the little wooden houses. It's a very clean, stylised look and I'd say it functions all the better as a gaming surface for that reason.Conrad Kinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683395740934527502noreply@blogger.com
