Clarence has been doing so well answering these questions that I just stayed out of it
The format of our offering will in many ways follow in the footsteps of Beneath the Lily Banners ;
High quality production
Loads of photographs(many more in fact that BLB)
Original and exquisite artwork from Mr CH
Easy to follow layout
The main differences will also be many and signficant:
Extensive background explanations about ALL mechanisms, how they work, why they were chosen, common misinterpretations, extensive worked examples.
The playing mechanisms have been completely rewritten from the ground up and several of these are quite radical departures the norms.
Ranges are accurate and to scale for ALL weapons. Heavy artillery such as 12pdrs having a reach of over 90 inches in 28mm scale.
Scales anomalies prevalent in many other systems have been minimised or if possible eliminated.
Play is very fast, flexible and stress free!
My play testing team have been extremely forensic in their approach to mechanisms and I feel happy that we have a very robust system which not be 'Rules Twister' friendly!
We intend to drip feed some mechanisms into the forum and possibly other fora over the next few months. We will also issue free PDFs of gameplay and examples to give feel for how the games flow. This will all be before release.
Although we have not yet done a page count it is likely that the rules will be well over 100 pages in size (much of that background info, colour text and data and examples)
The rules will have ALL necessary mechanisms condensed onto no more than 3 sides of A4 paper.
Hope his has started to give a flavour of where we are up to
