Dear Players.... Here are the unit allocations for the remainder of the campaign: German Kampfgruppe Falk : Ian Beal Sturmgruppe Ossenbach : Quindia Kampfgruppe Duchemin : Sgt Steiner Soviet 19th Guards Tank Brigade : David Imrie Shock Brigade Svyatoslav : Paul McLauchlin Shock Group A 7th GMB : Chr...

Ian, I'm a bit slow.... I read your post on Monday and thought it was some kind of Shakespearian reference... but now I get it!! maybe it's because I'm in Germany right now that I picked up the vibe!! Campaign units all done now. They'll be uploaded when I get home either late thursday or early frid...

Hi Andy, short term the easiest thing to do is trawl around the forum under various entries you´ll find references to good books on the period. As there are now so many requests for source material I´ll draw up a list and stick it in the WARCHEST . Alan Sapherson is a good resource although of cours...

Pat, thanks for umpiring David and I through that first pass at FoW. I confess I would probably have not even got round to a game with the rules if I had been in the situation of reading it all myself and then setting up the game. I saw from Brians site that your British were continuing their lucky ...

Dear Players, first four commands are up. Next will be David Imrie's (his is specific becasue he's already a long term player and is having a command 'realignment' for the last six moves). That means the Soviet command already up is going either to Paul or Chris. The German commanders will get notic...

OK Boys ! The fun is about to begin. I have posted a sample unit structure in the Warchest - Sands of Time. This unit will shortly be assigned to either Herr Steiner, Herr Beal or Quindia! The other two units will follow then the Soviets. I will also begin to post Situation Maps from this evening. T...

Thought it would be a good 'entry' in to the campaign idea to finish off the Sands of Time before we start anything new, so if you guys are still up for it the following will happen over today and tomorrow: 1. Overview and General Info will appear in a new WARCHEST section SANDS OF TIME 2. Individua...

Missed my commit on this but have been doing some work on my travels. News very soon and anyone else interested can let me know.

Cheers

Hi Graham, a little more on dragoons; Mounted dragoons are based as per cavalry. Usually the units are two squadrons(very occasionally one and also occasionally three - my Dutch Garde Dragonders Eppinger's are of this type). The standard two squadron dragoon units dismount as two musket armed bases ...

Hi Guys,

sorry for the late reply. I've been working in Turkey for the last few days and was off the web. Will reply in detail on the campaign within the next two days.

Thanks for the `shouts' and yup David, help will be grand thanks


Best

Hi Ian, Not a silly question at all. What i mean is: The diagonal straps supporting pouches, bayonet frogs etc will cross left over right or right over left, ie when you look at the figure one strap will be on top of the other in the centre of the chest and at the centre of the back. The Russians ha...

I am thinking about running a mini campaign through the site using some of the principles and mechanisms with which the Sands of Time OstFront Campaign was managed. It would involve Subscribers commanding moderate size forces with set missions who may well end up playing against other players forces...

Hi Jonathan, Skirmishers can be singly based or even a stand could be detached from parent body. Appropriate modifiers are taken by parent body as a result of the `detachment' More details soon! Don't worry about lack of access via Membership option - not live yet. A few other visitors have had simi...

Thanks for that! I'll take note and roll it into the amendments that I carry. I increasingly feel that two aspects of WW2/Modern warfare are glossed over in gaming terms: Recon & Artillery planning/plotting/observing/effect Why? I think most gamers want fast action, brewed up tanks and machine gun f...
