Title: (Commercial) To The Last Man (WW1 Skirmish)
Post by: nicknorthstar on July 01, 2019, 02:55:43 PM: Back in 2007, author Chris Peers published a set of WW1 skirmish rules called To The Last Man. The print run sold out ages ago. But someone's just found a box of them.

So it's available again, though there's only about 50 of course.

I can't run through it for you, I never played it. Chris describes it as fast play small unit actions, from sections to platoons, suitable for the period, not just WW1, but all early 20th Century warfare.

Post by: nicknorthstar on July 07, 2019, 09:07:03 PM: Totally different. I've not played TTLM, just CLA. CLA is big battles, this is small unit actions, different system, everything.

Actually Chris wrote CLA a long time ago, and his rules have moved on. Death in the Dark Continent for example owes little to nothing to CLA

Post by: racm32 on July 07, 2019, 09:24:37 PM: I use to play a lot of CLA back in the day which is why I asked. Guess I'll find out how different when my copy of TTLM arrives.

Post by: racm32 on July 31, 2019, 12:12:43 AM: So I got my copy and have been going through it slowly as I'm finding it hard to fallow. Is there an errata and or an FAQ available anywhere? Also has anyone put together a quick reference sheet for these rules? None is provided and it desperately needs one.
