Nah, quality is just a text input field. Anyway it will be a radio button in the final version. I'll change it someday

By the way, isn't it sad that triumphandtragedy.com is already taken (as are the .info, .org, .biz and various others)? What about .mil addresses, are these available, or are they reserved for the "real" military?

If one uses a "&" in the middle, I get a "server not found" message... maybe that one´s still open

& cannot be used in domain names, but triumph-and-tragedy.com seems to be available. Better be quick...

Well then, you learn something new every day.

This looks promishing

Will you include other countries fighting of the mantle from the Reds ie Finnish, Estonians etc. Just a thought as I don't know what your plans are there for the future.

Westfalia Chris · « **Reply #35 on:** September 28, 2007, 08:54:44 AM »

Dear Helen,

we´re currently full and busy getting the main rulebook ready for printing; however, we´ve got at least two supplements planned, concerning the Russian and Spanish Civil Wars, which will include "army lists" (ie, organisational guidelines); since our game has a rather more "pulpy" feel and is not exactly a die-hard simulation*, those will certainly include all manner of "exotic" troop types, and Estonian Rifles as well as Baltic Freikorps are high on the list.

Of course, our general approach is that you´ll be able to model any force of your liking, and the basic rule set includes a basic "force creation system" with which you´ll be able to produce "prototypes" for various types of troops.

*: understatement at work!

I will certainly pick a copy of the rules up at Crisis (if available). Great to hear about the supplements, I'm new to the period and will need some guidelines for forming forces.
Does the "pulpy" feeling also include rules for characters or only for units?

Hope to see the game at Crisis!

DJ

Hello DJ,

T+T will be definately available at Crisis. We are looking forward to see you at our participation game table.

The "pulpy" feeling goes more with the characters. So, there will be rules for characters. They are not a must for the scenarios you play. But in case you like to play a campaign they spice it up.

We designed the rules in a way that you can either play a bit more adventurous pulp style games or historical acurate games. Depends on what you want.

The final testgames we did on the TST Convention were all historical based WW1 games and they worked very well.

Cheers
Björn

What's the name of the font you used on these cards? It's very fitting. Did you use the same font for the production cards and in the book?

Some more teaser stuff, a couple of our playtesting Unit Cards...

PeteMurray · « **Reply #41 on:** October 15, 2007, 12:56:30 PM »

Awesome. I am for sure going to get a copy from Lon at Brigade.

I'm really excited that these are almost out!

The font used on these play-test cards is called "10CentSoviet" and is available here:

We used the Adventure BT font (vulgo "Indy Font") for the generic cards in the basic rulebook and will, presumably, use themed fonts for the army list cards. I´ll have to re-organise my font collection first after my re-installation last Friday, but you can reasonably expect "faux calligraphy" for the Chinese and Japanese forces, typewriter or stencil fonts for Western forces and similar.

Very nice! Can't wait to see these in print! They play very well!
