For your Vietnam rules Apparently "Wargames Soldier and Strategy" did a small rules conversion a few years back in their magazine for Vietnam. The magazine is available off Ebay, or the exact pages can also be read here:<br />https://issuu.com/satsobek/docs/wss_65/64<br /><br />I do however am eager to see what your terrain, minis, and rules look like cause I like the other millions like your style. :)<br />Satu Patelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09813657773418931874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-11326956689352656192017-07-02T14:31:01.789-07:002017-07-02T14:31:01.789-07:00Getting there ... spending money along the way :-)...Getting there ... spending money along the way :-)Jay Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526516499890662958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-90309096656409320632017-06-30T08:51:23.484-07:002017-06-30T08:51:23.484-07:00Looking so great, very nice project!

Reasons are fairly simple. Facebook, you get way more exposure with people. Grant it, it is a short term memory thing, but it inspires. The your regular blog is for more long term. My blog receives hits on older posts due to search engines. If anyone is looking for certain inspiration for their games, it's the search engines that bring up the blogs. I have yet to find with Google or Yahoo a Facebook posting I have done. However, at Historicon last year, I had people come up to meet me based on work. I am looking forward to see who I will meet at Nashcon at the end of the month and this year's Historicon.<br />Spudnick080https://www.blogger.com/profile/11339969502914100904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-60372809257335186462017-05-01T21:43:59.172-07:002017-05-01T21:43:59.172-07:00Hi Jay, late to the party and see you mentioned yo...Hi Jay, late to the party and see you mentioned you won't be doing facebook at this time, but still wanted to weigh in. Your blog is one of my favorites. Not only quality paint work but insightful and helpful commentary. I've lost access to other nice blogs that have gone facebook (I know you said you'd keep going with yours) and it was a sad times. I had facebook and after a couple of years killed it. Don't like the info gathering, the stupid commercials, etc. but my biggest beef was the constant changes and other minor things. I know a lot of companies are taking to this media and I guess they have to. The generations coming up behind me depend on this tool a lot more than I do and companies have to adapt to this. <br /><br />But...<br /><br />We few, we happy few, we band of bloggers;<br />For he to-day that writes his blog with me<br />Shall be my brother<br />And gentlemen in Facebook now a-bed<br />Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,<br />And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks<br />That they failed to read with us upon our blogger ways.<br /><br />;)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496898036305134720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-68253089570236789552017-05-01T18:02:10.906-07:002017-05-01T18:02:10.906-07:00Love the Little Round Top Scenario, close to my he...Love the Little Round Top Scenario, close to my heart, as I live in Brunswick, Maine!

Fear not - my blog is the primary thing for me ... if I did a Facebook page it would really only be a notification mechanism for when I published a new post. Honestly, the more I think about it I don't think I need to pollute Facebook with yet another page. I'm already in several groups in FB and can post links to my posts in those groups as appropriate. I think I'll just stay the current course. 40mm eh ... to big for me :-) My standardization on 28mm has worked well for me ... just one set of terrain that gets a lot of reuse :-)Jay Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11526516499890662958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-67031535603490252062017-05-01T06:45:21.832-07:002017-05-01T06:45:21.832-07:00Hey Jay, your Devil's Den terrain is looking g...Hey Jay, your Devil's Den terrain is looking great, those matts, roads and fences are museum quality. I had to weigh in on the Facebook question. I do not have Facebook, and know others that don't. Lately I feel like I've been missing out and Wargames Illustrated is a good example. Sometimes I do reviews for them, and when Doug of Miniature Service Center (MSC) asked why he never saw reviews for his new 40mm French and Indian War range, I asked and was advised by one of the editors that they were being posted on Facebook, but not on the website. Makes me wonder how much other info I've missed. It looks like we're at a point where we need this source as well as a website. That's sad as I have no interest in Facebook, and there are probably others like me. Thus,you could lose some, but potentially gain others. I know you said you would maintain the blog, but that's how it looks now, right? This might be due to the age of some users, as when advising Doug of MSC, who is even older than me (!) where that review was, he laughed and replied in the negative. Btw, MSC is selling the molds of their 40mm ACW range, so if you want to do your projects in a bigger scale, lol...Steve Dakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15082517469624256557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-11720036344092905602017-04-29T18:47:39.571-07:002017-04-29T18:47:39.571-07:00Thanks Matt!

Amazing :)<br />Facebook - the cesspool of modern society! LOL! I think Facebook would be fine if people couldn't comment or like things. Joking aside, I do think it is viable for the hobby, much like the blogs it brings people and ideas together. Honestly my entire feed is pretty much filled with only game publishers/designers, game specific groups (Bolt Action, 7TV, Pulp Alley, Blood & Plunder, Chicago Way, etc.), terrain help/tips groups, swap/sell groups, etc. - you get the idea. The only thing for me that I'd prefer would be a "closed" group, where only the members of the group can see and write posts, comment, etc. With a public group or page anybody can see posts and comment - I don't need my racist uncle (because we've all got one, lol!) cheering on my photos (or anything of yours, because the moment I like or comment on it, that is going out publicly to my friends list) of the 1st Virginia cavalry because he's unable to take it in the context we are, the gaming standpoint, and not something political.<br />Longwinded response, and I hope it makes some sort of sense - difficult to keep thoughts cohesive when I can only see four lines of text in this little box! Regardless, I'd follow you on Facebook, just unlikely to comment or like photos if it were public.<br />And I'm going to give you some ribbing because there wasn't one Helm's Deep photo, booooooooooo LOL!Ivor Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11928387567891480797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814648975525606956.post-24500622816196372932017-04-29T07:27:26.473-07:002017-04-29T07:27:26.473-07:00Sweet!
