Ooops, by not replying it looks like I’ve never responded to the above posts … which of course I have.

Mark, email on it’s way to you too.

Hope I am not being too much of a pain in asking for your ammended aeronef rules as well. Like many others I think it a great game but the combat a bit too basic. Love the models on your pictures. What class is the big German dig?

Thanks for the comment. I’m a believer in using the “vanilla” version of a rule set before tinkering with them, so your experience is useful and puts my mind at rest on that issue.

I’ve been thinking of other rules sets too …

This was posted a while ago, but having played Necromunda a lot, I’d say that initiative is a much smaller issue in the game than (say) in the regular Warhammer games, mostly because the terrain made the game function so differently. In our games at least, who went first never seemed to reflect who would have the upper hand, or who would go on to win it.

However, if you don’t like the impact of that, I think a simple approach to limit its effect would be to slightly change it so that whoever goes first also only gets to move half their models in the first turn, with those models chosen at random (names in a bag, roll dice, whatever’s easiest). That would mean that half of the first-moving gang is a move ahead the other side, while the other half is a move behind, which would even it out and effectively eliminate that edge, such as it is.

Thanks for the comment dude. Not sure what you would use for 15mm; monkey nuts?

Good luck!

Well … Originally they were for a Back of Beyond type game, or possibly Triumph and Tragedy? Now though it’s more about having some stock figures for my Pulp games.

Excellent. I’ll have a go at the terrain pieces after Xmas. A hard act to follow though.

Looking very good. Just 1 question (which I know I might regret); what are they for?

I think I should put 1 gun on the same level forward, 2 aft and then 5 on a lower level. That would give me 10 guns per side.

As for the Jetty, I’m thinking that I’ll do some wooden ones to extend out from the stone ones. What sort of layout are we looking at?
