As I say, there are not original but are a collection of various bits and pieces by others that I have come across over the years and combined into a single "rule set" that might hopefully be very easy to use after two or three games, producing quick results and easily finished games. That is the intent at any rate. Touch wood as my Welsh step-father says.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-35232895897449727192016-10-17T04:59:30.500-05:002016-10-17T04:59:30.500-05:00I shall give these a bash with "Shinyloo"...I shall give these a bash with "Shinyloo".Big Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235478427317774609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-12156578129190252442016-10-16T16:52:51.260-05:002016-10-16T16:52:51.260-05:00Oh, look, there's an article in this.

I wouldn't be able to remember all of the different measurements and the meaning of individual dice rolls that are shown in your tables. I would need to consult a chart to play your rules ( not that there is anything wrong with that 😀 ). My general observation is that if you don't like a particular set of rules, all the changes and tweaks are not going to make your experience any better unless you already like the mechanics of fire, movement, melee and morale, etc.<br /><br />JimDer Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-16649225617657032722016-10-16T11:48:35.255-05:002016-10-16T11:48:35.255-05:00Thank you everyone for your comments so far!

I hope to give the a shot (pun intended) very soon myself and will share my post-game reflections here at the GD of S blog.<br /><br />Best Regards,<br /><br />StokesWSTKS-FM Worldwidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173042438761572040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-87839134306892076702016-10-15T16:01:56.838-05:002016-10-15T16:01:56.838-05:00Most interesting,I shall give them a whirl very so...Most interesting,I shall give them a whirl very soon.<br />Alantradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-64688966790028261672016-10-15T14:43:56.279-05:002016-10-15T14:43:56.279-05:00Interesting ideas here ! , are the melee dice thro...Interesting ideas here ! , are the melee dice thrown per two opposing figures - highest score winning ? , TonyThe Good Soldier Svjekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749564052124659180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-9633633303336634062016-10-15T14:27:43.976-05:002016-10-15T14:27:43.976-05:00Very interesting and quite similar to the home gro...Very interesting and quite similar to the home grown set I use. With firing I found it easier to count hits as per dice but exclude the higher numbers at longer ranges eg 1 is one hit, 2 is two hits whilst 3 4 5 6 are misses rather than deducting from the throw. Melee mechanics are similar as too many mechanics complicates things. I have the fifty per cent rule but have the unit withdraw with a child as nice to rally "hits" back. I have found I enjoy playing much more with simpler rules.<br />Prince Lupushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205758324137548941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-39478903081227575922016-10-15T13:42:53.780-05:002016-10-15T13:42:53.780-05:00I'm all in favour of tinkering and experimenti...I'm all in favour of tinkering and experimenting with rules and I HATE having to refer to a playsheet to resolve fire etc.<br /><br />However, ironically, Charge! is one of the very few commercial sets that I was able to play without a cheat sheet after about 2 games but then I always play the advanced version which (ironically) is much simpler than tbe introductory version. I think this due to the written turn orders and simultaneous movement, firing etc. Rather than the interlaced alternate system.<br /><br />Enjoy the experimenting!Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.com
