This time it is just a textual post...no pictures.
The ACW game is nearly written, although textual revisions will follow and this can be a long process.
The grid game for ancient through renaissance battles is developing really well. It is called Control to Catastrophe. We have quite a few games under our belts and the basic rules engine has been remarkably stable. I am really excited about this game and have started the massive task of building army lists. I think this is a necessary evil. Army lists are really a fantasy since they try to represent a generic 'list' for armies that were usually not regularized, often drew on locally recruited mercenaries and were, therefore, ephemeral in nature. Yes, the basic troop types of a Roman army can be considered 'typical' but I suspect that even those Romans took to the field with an army that was different at every battle they fought - even during the same campaign. Ideally players should play scenarios with custom designed scenarios for each game. Of course, most gamers are not inclined to do this, so I am going to provide lists but will include an historical scenario for all the period groups of historical adversaries.
We will see how it goes.
