Does it run the opposing force somehow?<br />Your Fields Of Fire with miniatures post is fantastic.<br />Thanks for sharing all of this!orionstarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283965671917159567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666274911767438295.post-18964644017631638972011-05-05T08:14:03.836-07:002011-05-05T08:14:03.836-07:00Link to Too Fat Lardies?Link to Too Fat Lardies?Gamer Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429499308557410408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666274911767438295.post-3085018698776482392011-03-13T00:23:11.253-08:002011-03-13T00:23:11.253-08:00Cheers Joe,

What happen is I switched the table around after the example was written and forgot to go back and change the example. My bad. Do not at 6. With a roll of 14 that should be avarice.<br /> Thanks for the feedback!<br />JoeFlightDochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493092270549623224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666274911767438295.post-55191421309457163532011-03-12T07:56:15.869-08:002011-03-12T07:56:15.869-08:00Hi Joseph,

Its only due to the example that it can be figured out ~ perhaps colour coding the dice figures in the table next edition?<br />On the motivation test the example states a roll of 14 gives 'Government' as an outcome but this could only be the case if the 14 is added to the dice roll of 6 for personality?<br /><br />Not got much further yet but again many thanks for a great piece of work.<br /><br />JasUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773764770818556337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666274911767438295.post-54264179925357966152011-03-08T22:15:45.935-08:002011-03-08T22:15:45.935-08:00I think its a great book Joe, and a must have for ...I think its a great book Joe, and a must have for any gamer who dabbles in RPG style development or solo gaming.<br /><br />I'm into Dark Age gaming at the moment, so I'm contemplating developing some appropriately themed character templates for "Warband Forward!"<br /><br />cheers and thanks for all your hard work on this great bookPaul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666274911767438295.post-29171160738011051692011-02-07T06:00:59.889-08:002011-02-07T06:00:59.889-08:00Have been looking forward to this for some time an...Have been looking forward to this for some time and you have not dissapointed!

I seem to remember that the Lardies' "Through the Mud and the Blood" had quite a good artillery section, so I might dig that up and have a look.<br />Thanks for the kind words on the blog.<br />NormanNorman Johnstonhttp://pcjohnstone.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666274911767438295.post-27957862659299242252011-01-30T17:02:22.629-08:002011-01-30T17:02:22.629-08:00Norman,

The blinds absorb damage/pins ect without rolling for what the blind actually is. If your system needs a leader for rallying use a gr I leader. Once the blind is spotted or needs to "get in the game" roll for it. If real is sustains the damage. Does that explain it?<br />Nice blog BTW<br /><br />JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666274911767438295.post-77107418991480257432011-01-29T15:20:44.878-08:002011-01-29T15:20:44.878-08:00Hi Joe,

I played through scenario A today, and have posted a report on my blog at:-<br /><br />http://pcjohnstone.wordpress.com/2011/01/29/disposable-heroes-ww2-29102011-solo/<br /><br />On the question of a preliminary barrage against blinds (as in Scenario A), I was wondering what method you used to work this out?<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />NormanNorman Johnstonhttp://pcjohnstone.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5666274911767438295.post-45584545215930359052011-01-25T18:44:09.546-08:002011-01-25T18:44:09.546-08:00Donogh,
