I only buy the other two if they have something in them that particularly interests me.<br /><br />I've seen SAGA being used at a wargame show, and the players were extolling its virtues. I have yet to buy any of the Osprey wargame books, but decided to pre-order the colonial rules as people who have seen drafts have told me that they are excellent.<br /><br />My Colonial blog has been in a state of limbo for too long, and I really do need to shift some of the relevant blog entries on my main blog over to it. All I need is time ... which I never seem to have enough of!<br /><br />Information about the Nile Gunboats is a bit sparse, but you might find the following <a href="http://wargamingmiscellany.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/victorian-and-edwardian-miscellany_9.html" rel="nofollow">blog entry</a> useful.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-48200849471236718102016-01-23T21:39:56.048+00:002016-01-23T21:39:56.048+00:00Bob,

As long as I get it, I am fine with it arriving several days after the magazine hits the stores.<br /><br />I've played Lion Rampant, but prefer Saga, myself. I do look at Osprey's games, though, as they seem to be improving in quality.<br /><br />One thing though, I've been long awaiting further updates on your Colonial Wargaming blog. Any chance you will add to it in the not too distant future? I want to see more!<br /><br />Oh, what source would you recommend for the Nile river boats for the Sudan crisis? I'd like to follow your example and build a few of my own, stylized of course.

That said, I understand that Osprey is bringing out a set of Colonial skirmish rules, and they may well find their way into my collection.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-48115943602431599892016-01-23T16:36:28.170+00:002016-01-23T16:36:28.170+00:00I have spoken to Henry about it before and last mo...I have spoken to Henry about it before and last month he sent me the pdf himself. <br />It isn't his fault but something to do with Exact Editions who handle the subscription.<br />Ntw, it isn't that important.<br />I don't like fantasy either but I use Dan Mersey's Lion Rampart and like the way he writes. The other article was a couple of scenarios for the Dark Ages with some relevant history; that was right up my street :0)nobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02552663142940856622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-15175506854714273232016-01-23T16:29:23.034+00:002016-01-23T16:29:23.034+00:00Nobby,

Henry is usually very good in making sure that sort of thing is done on time.<br /><br />I did read both the articles you mention, but as fantasy gaming isn't really my thing, they didn't rate as being my top articles from this issue.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-38723603862851909792016-01-23T12:54:45.860+00:002016-01-23T12:54:45.860+00:00My digital copy only arrived yesterday.
