In my a very handy as a bedside book as much as anything else, probably the least useful chapters now would be the Review of Wargames Periods and Rules and the one on 'Armies' (figure makers), these being rather dated, and apt to do quickly if and when updated.<br /><br />I have played the FPW/ACW set as ACW - simple rule set, very playable. I would probably be inclined now to amend the small arms mechanics and the artillery fire charts, and change the shape of the canister 'triangle' (actually a pentagon), but they are really just details.Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399255049115922694.post-20324885651912738612017-01-11T14:17:22.806+00:002017-01-11T14:17:22.806+00:00I know it has run out of steam a little in the las...I know it has run out of steam a little in the last couple of years, partly because of other projects (History of Georland and Interwar Tank development blogs) and also because there is only so much old material but I am hoping to get back to a bit more activity now.Vintage Wargaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251018372867101509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399255049115922694.post-11500379901465822972017-01-11T13:50:24.056+00:002017-01-11T13:50:24.056+00:00Can't remember if I have ever got around to sa...Can't remember if I have ever got around to say thank you for running the vintage wargaming blog.
