I suspect that they came about as a result of some of the feedback I had received during the day being 'processed' subconsciously. I want to put them down on paper later this morning and then to run some play-test examples before writing the whole thing up as another blog entry.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-17183235657204070542012-11-25T09:25:56.057+00:002012-11-25T09:25:56.057+00:00Kaptain Kobold,

The only problem is that it is usually as I am doing something else (like going to sleep!) and I don't always remember the solution when I wake up!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-42788090114144813772012-11-25T00:57:27.265+00:002012-11-25T00:57:27.265+00:00I have posted the close combat rules I'm trial...I have posted the close combat rules I'm trialling at the moment on my blog.

If I worry and work at it I don't progress, but if I Let Go and Trust My Feelings, ideas just suddenly come to me. The problem then is either remembering them or writing them down :)Kaptain Koboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082772546044655044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-89470517760971772182012-11-24T19:04:19.685+00:002012-11-24T19:04:19.685+00:00Conrad Kinch,
