But I like many elements of it and am going to have a go.<br />I think doing a few videos woudl be a good idea - you have some of the best miniature collections out there and the entire package is a sight to see. <br /><br />I liked your M&T videos and some supporting your own game would give it greater visbility...particularly as the game is very approachable…definitely do a series of 5-10 minute videos…explaining concepts and how the game plays.<br /><br />When I do I'll post on my blog ;-)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Happy WHappy Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14547534090443253959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-20103107052744610672016-08-07T08:57:12.918-07:002016-08-07T08:57:12.918-07:00Hello there! Yes, I'm still working on THG. ...Hello there! Yes, I'm still working on THG. Also, I have Empires at War for my Napoleonics games used tbe same core system.<br /><br />I've not been looking at a large skirmish game for ACW, mostly because I have all my figures and stuff based for mass battle games. I tend to stick to one rule set/type of game per period, well, just because I have so many periods that I play. <br /><br />Between the modern Bolt Action rules, This Hallowed Ground, and Empires at War, I've got a good set of rules going that I've been able to iterate on a few times each now. With the core rules working, I'd like to expand on the resources for the games, such as QRS sheets, scenarios, videos of how to play, etc.<br /><br />Have you been using THG? Curious, I have really no clue if anyone is using the stuff I write down :-)Jay Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526516499890662958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-50778410312419509382016-08-07T01:28:37.219-07:002016-08-07T01:28:37.219-07:00Beautiful stuff Jay,

Question f...Beautiful stuff Jay,<br /><br />...inspiring ;-)<br /><br />Question for you - do you think, have you considered, that an adaptation of a Bolt Action style game could be done to produce a mass skirmish game system for periods such as the Civil War?<br /><br />You’ve blended a few interesting concepts into Hallowed Ground and thought that maybe a skirmish game ala Muskets & Tomahawks but aimed more at the pure military style clashes could be an interesting idea. i.e. a company of infantry (60-90 figs) with units running around as squads. I’ve adapted M&T to the civl war but it doesn’t feel right for pure blue v grey clashes (good for raids on towns though).<br /><br />I noticed in the Bolt Action second edition release they have a concept of a combined order <br /><br />"Officers activate other units! Used cleverly, this creates a huge tactical shift as you can order multiple units to fire or advance in concert.”<br /><br />This could be the kind of rule to get an officer to push around multiple squads for a game deputing squads, platoon organisations in the 19th century.<br /><br />Anyway, I wondered if the thought had crossed your mind as your Hallowed Ground rules look very comprehensive and that you might the looking at the ‘ big skirmish’ as well as the ‘battle game'…are you still developing Hallowed Ground?<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />Happy WandererHappy Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14547534090443253959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-14494489932625972402016-07-16T18:48:35.380-07:002016-07-16T18:48:35.380-07:00lol ... thanks!
