Gen. Pettygree et al will reappear in Ap...For Jeff,<br />Gen. Pettygree et al will reappear in April. Chuck and I have been talking about doing multiple week night short session games after work. Now that I think about it, we might even use the Halfaya Pass terrain for same.<br />---<br />For Steve,<br />I never played the earlier edition of Blitzkrieg Commander (BKC). However, though there were modifications made over the past two years to BKC, I wanted to wait until the latest second edition (BKCII) was printed this past December before commencing my learning and playing curve. Friends in the UK were complimentary about the rules and took special time to explain concepts in some detail. I had a huge hurdle to overcome once I learned the system is command control based.<br /><br />The whole BKCII ensemble is well-done. Rules compliment and work well with each other. Vehicles and soldiers can zoom around great distances if command control is maintained for a phase or two during a turn. I short circuit if units crawl -- by my definition of crawl. Combat is happily faster and less convoluted than other systems in spite of many many WWII weapons variations. Less fiddly I guess is the current term.<br /><br />This might be our 7-8th game since January. We've had a couple of big multi-player games while the rest were smaller so-called test games on weeknights. Most problems were my own lack of comprehension about mechanisms and a few concepts. For the latter the Forum set up by the author has been of inestimable help to me.<br /><br />The website also has a gizmo to build forces via purchase points. Buy the "Advanced Battlegroups" version for more flexibilities.<br />----------<br />For Andy<br />The table covering came from The Terrain Guy in Texas. Take a look at his website. We place virtually anything under the terrain mat. Books, boards, towels, magazines. Use anything. Blankets will work too. One time just for special photographic effects I used two model R/R bridges on the edge for a sever and very tall edge of table ridge.<br />----------<br />Respectfully,<br />BillGalliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258909398832285314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041377480802719591.post-82451865657176597812010-03-25T09:01:04.658-05:002010-03-25T09:01:04.658-05:00What are you using for that ground cover?
