Mark's Little Soldiers game
« on: 18 December 2022, 03:02:26 PM »
I had the pleasure of testing out Mark Copplestone's gridded wargame with him. He's working on it to accompany his 30mm neo-retro 1920s/1930s range. It was a superb game, much laughter, and a very good set of rules that throw up many command choices. I believe the plan is to release the rules at some point in the near future.

I like the clean lines of the squares. Any target date for rules release?

I like the old school look of it.
It reminds me of the photos from early
wagame books. Nice job.

Sorry, I don't know a release date.

The table is Mark's. I think he's got it looking spot-on

That grid works nicely, easy to see but not too obtrusive.

I already play a few games on grids (mostly from Peter Pig) but usually mark the grids by small crosses or dots on a cloth. Might consider a patchwork grid next. You might get a subtle effect by using cloth with a nap and alternating directions. Something like cheap upholstery velvet perhaps.

Looks straight out of a 70’s wargames book
Loving the look.
