Then I got 'Battles for Empire' but got irritated to hell and back by the constant "except" comments in each rule - "all troops can do such and such *except*....etc" At which point in time I decided to do what I should have done in the first place, bought 'Pony Wars', took all the good stuff & put it into my rules, dredged as much as I could from the Wargamers World Gilder articles, obtained Gilders reaction table (and I have a soft copy of the Gilder 'rules' if you want them) put it all together and here I am... drop us an email if you want the Gilder rulesSteve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27848857.post-7577043729044753482008-08-23T14:45:00.000+10:002008-08-23T14:45:00.000+10:00Steve just checked your site, 15mm is not my thing...Steve just checked your site, 15mm is not my thing but your Sudan collection looks great. I have based my figures on large bases so that they can be used for a number of different systems. Peter Gilders large bases for the Fuzzy Wuzzies was my inspiration, 100mm x 50mm with 5-6 figures (representing 10) and lots of terrain. I am going to try 'Science versus Pluck:Too Much for the Mahdi' first but have 'Battles for Empire' or 'Field of Battle' in mind as well. I did have a full set of Peter Gilder's Sudan rules from a friend who got them from the Holiday centre but I lent them to a gamer and he never gave them back. The good news is that there may be version coming out someday, lets hope anyway. Will post some photos in the next few days.
