I know that a few people have developed fantasy versions of the rules, and that at least one battle has been fought using a modified version of my rules and Warhammer 40K figures, so a full-blown SciFi version sounds altogether feasible.<br /><br />Good luck with your project,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-62548572164846498392019-09-09T02:16:37.148+01:002019-09-09T02:16:37.148+01:00Hello Bob, I purchased your book The Portable Warg...Hello Bob, I purchased your book The Portable Wargame from Amazon.com and was thinking about trying to do a scifi add on for it, like a bolt on of sorts.Doomsfisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073543301556869630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-76647101545954399352019-08-31T23:03:10.126+01:002019-08-31T23:03:10.126+01:00Archduke Piccolo,

Don't forget, my inspiration came from Joseph Morschauser, and particularly his Colonial battles using 54mm-scale Britains figures. Why don't you give it a go!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-46145718824601183552019-08-31T22:51:48.999+01:002019-08-31T22:51:48.999+01:00Looking at this game puts me in mind of my own ...Looking at this game puts me in mind of my own 'Army Men' project. I was thinking more in terms of 'back lawn' for them, but maybe I ought to re-examine the grid table for them. I recall Tim Gow's 'Little Cold Wars' very nearly made me look to recasting the armies of Raesharn and Kiivar...
