We might not be able to provide ELVEN Hussars but we may be able to squeeze in the ELEVENTH Hussars
At the moment I have realised that the typed text for R2E covers nearly 66 sheets of A4. The actual rules when distilled down to their essence will take up about seven of these 66 pages. The remaining text is all of the 'colour' that sets context, rationale, mechanix and examples to avoid some of the misinterpretations generated by BLB's simple format.
I have learned that lesson very well
The biggest decision will actually be how much we want to spent on production. Clearly it is going to be over 100 pages. Do we go to 150 and include absolutely everything we want to put in. It will shove production costs up. There is no doubt the book will be more expensive than BLB but I don't think double the price Ray
I will shortly post a text only version of the most requested extract in the WARCHEST. ..Basing, scales, unit sizes.
I have had loads of people asking what we intend to do swith this because there is such a rush on just now with people buying 28mm plastics which they don't what to base in a configuration unsuitable for R2E.
I have already stated that ANY base size will do but I think folks want HARD EVIDENCE!!
Watch out for that soon. As my partner Clarence says, we'll trail other stuff to keep everybody informed and some mechanisms may appear in their full form.
Hope this helps
, but with skirmishers I was wondering if basing might be a little more critical in terms of how the rules mechanisms for skirmishers work (casualty removal; firing calculations and so on). In other words, I suppose what I was groping towards was not so much the size of skirmisher bases but whether I should base skirmishers singly or in small (or even large) groups?
