Hello Gents,
I have been away a long while, due to computer hardware issues that are not fully resolved, as yet, but I am back...and glad of it.
I just received my copy of BLB2, this week, and I am already very pleased with the quality of the book as well as the changes to the rules from BLB1.
My sole quibble is the low casualties the winner of a melee receives, in comparison to the loser... 2! Beyond that, I and my wargaming fellows are pleased as punch with the rules.
In fact, I am even now in the process of creating an alternate history within which to place several imagi-nations for myself and my gaming mates. I've written a brief alternate history, leading up to 1710, which can be found here: http://dutch-kent.blogspot.com/ .
It is a barebones blog, atm, but as I just started it yesterday, I feel the historical write-up is a worthy effort....even if I do say so, myself.
I welcome you all to view it and leave comments. Rest assured, I will be posting to it more and more frequently as things come together for it.
Again, I am glad to be back. I have a buddy who keeps asking me for a game of BLB, but real life has been rather...hectic as of late.
Barry, you are killing me with the cool miniatures and when I have a steady income, again, I will be investing in a few dozen. I need pikemen and officers. I look forward to future releases.
Justin
