Before my recent accident and subsequent immobility, I had been looking at whether it might be possible to meld my PORTABLE WARGAME rules with elements drawn from SHAMBATTLE. I even managed to fight a wargame to test the concept … and was so pleased with the result that I hoped to develop this project further.
To date I’ve been unable to do so, but Archduke Piccolo has, and the results are even better than I could have envisaged.
His work has firmly convinced me that if and when I regain my mobility, this will be a project that I will definitely want to pursue further.

The Archduke's large Hexboard really lends itself to this sort of grand action. Hope you're able to fight your own SHAM Battle soon Bob.
ReplyDeleteMaudlin Jack Tar,
DeleteIt is a very impressive hexed game board and at some point I hope to emulate it using my Hexon II terrain.
All the best,
Bob
It is a very inspiring project from piccolo
ReplyDeleteDemitri Ioannou,

Thanks for the plug, Bob! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your own battles and campaigns.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Archduke Piccolo,
DeleteIt was my pleasure … and I am about to read today’s next instalment!
I doubt that I’m going to manage to fight any tabletop wargames for some time to come … but that won’t stop me planning for forthcoming campaigns and writing about wargaming.
All the best,
Bob
Hi Bob amazing looking game by the Archduke thanks for sharing I will check it out. Hope you can play your sham battle too eventually. Quinn
ReplyDeleteGlory to Ruritania, (Quinn),
DeleteIts a great leap forward as far as I am concerned and shows just what can be done with what at first sight looks like a very simple concept.
All the best,
Bob
