Latest book received

Got this for use as inspiration for my Feudal knights project:

Just received and just started reading a Kindle edition of Denis Wheatley's "Launching Of Roger Brook. Looks as though the intention is to republished the whole series on Kindle at about 2 a month.  These books were one the influences that started my interest in the Napoleonic wars. Just hope it is half as good as I remember , haven't read it for over 30 years.

I also wrote a review of the jousting rules. It's not positive.

Bugger! I was hoping the foot rules would suit rioting mobs.

I haven't gone over the Horse Melée, and the Foot & Archery rules, yet - from skimming, they seem a little more interesting form a gamer's' perspective. There are some movement rules resembling Wings of War, using templates that can either be placed in a row for short movement, or touching the mini base in between moves for longer strides.

Besides, I've already thought of a way to improve the jousting rules, using the existing game components - I'll write them down, playtest them, and post them on my blog.

I refuse to let £40 go to waste, so I SHALL use them, one way or the other...

The price is what put me off the purchase when really I only wanted the second part but needed the first part for the basic rules.

I'm not sure that you need that - I'll check. It's more or less 4 separate games. Stay tuned, I'll send you a PM later.

Issues 6, 7, 9 and 10 of the late, lamented Fanatic magazine. Just issue 8 left to go.
Absolutely chock full of stuff - hobby, background, entertainment and game ideas, even if I can't do much with the specific rules. Makes me a bit sad for what GW used to be, but I'm glad I was able to get my hands on these. I'm particularly tickled by the Mordheim article about the Moot, with a paragraph about the relationship between halflings and ogres that almost exactly matches the theme for my old Ogre Kingdoms army.

I just read a book on the Kindle called 'Outremer', by Richard Allibone. It's currently £1.95.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Outremer-Richard-Allibone-ebook/dp/B0076XVQPC/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1400314359&sr=1-1&keywords=outremer


It's an unusual crossover between fiction and non-fiction, using a fictional character or two inserted into histories and accounts of the Third Crusade to tell the story without changing any of the facts as known.

It took a little getting used to I must admit (especially the author's rather unnecessary rant about historical fiction authors who change details to improve the narrative) but in the end I did enjoy it. The author managed to humanise the characters well and flesh out the motivations of those involved, from several different angles.
