AR:SE Rules - An Update, and a Request
« on: March 05, 2011, 02:04:28 PM »
The Update

Just to let you know, that the third installment of AR:SE - AKULA's RULES:SKIRMISH EDITION, will be available, in time for Salute, on 16th April.

Total AR:SE is a fastplay rules set for mass zombie games

Half-AR:SE'd includes rules for mutants, aliens etc, and was used for the Hasslefree Participation game in 2010

The third installment - BAD AR:SE - is a set of modern skirmish rules inspired by the Battlefield Bad Company 2 PC/console game, and will be posted on my blog, from 16th April.



The Request

I am trying to raise some cash, for The Combat Stress Charity, the UK's leading military charity specialising in the care of Veteran's mental health.

While, all of the AR:SE rules are, and will continue to, be free to download, I would greatly appreciate it, if anyone that downloads the rules, or has done so in the past, were to make a small donation to Combat Stress.  This is of course, completely voluntary, and you can still download the rules, even if you don't want to make a donation.

Hopefully many of you have found the rules to be a useful diversion for a few hours, or more, with friends, and given that the rules were free, I hope that some of you will decide to donate a couple of quid to this worthwhile cause.

There is a link, on my blog, to my JustGiving page, which is dedicated to Combat Stress - this will allow you to make a donation in a secure way, either by credit card, or paypal.

To make a donation to Combat Stress, just go to my blog, by clicking on the AR:SE icon above, or my sig, at the bottom of the page, and look for the Combat Stress logo.

Thank you for your support.

 :)

Regards

Matt

I've a fair few sets of rules, many of which I've barely read before wanting to pluck mine eyes from mine skull. I discovered AR:SE while searching for a way to play zombies, my first 28mm endeavour in decades, and adored them for their simplicity, their playability and how they freed all the players up from endlessly pondering simple sums and enjoying themselves instead. Now I find myself wanting to use them for every 28mm game.

Donation made.

No problem Matt, well it would be rude not to, even if I'm a partial-AR:SE user  ;).

Will sort out at a more sociable and less offensive hour! (Twins up with upset stomach).

Thanks again to those that have already donated to Combat Stress, by clicking on the link to the JustGiving page, on my blog, above.

Your generosity is greatly appreciated.

If everyone that has downloaded the rules gave just a couple of pounds (or more), then we could make a real difference, to this worthy charity.

Haven't decided to download the rules, but I can't refuse an opportunity to let 'the lads' know how much this American appreciates them!

Small contribution left; I may come back with another.

Thanks, Matt.

Thanks Doug - donations of any size are greatly appreciated.

BTW - the next installment of AR:SE - BAD AR:SE will include, not just the rules, but also all of the counters needed, to save people making their own.

Just a teaser:



As mentioned previously, BAD AR:SE will be available to download, FOR FREE, after Salute (16th April) - I would ask though, that if you like the rules (or any of the previous sets), that you make a small donation to the Combat Stress Charity, via the Justgiving link, you can find on my blog.

Just a teaser

If I were selling them, i'd probably have to point out that the photo is just representative, and that the counters sheet will contain a small number of each type of counter, but that you will need to print off as many as you want, and stick them down onto cardboard yourself.....  :D

Also the turn cards (bottom left) have been printed doublesided, and the rules sheets laminated, for the Salute game...there is only so much you get on a free download  lol

As i've had a number of PMs from people that couldn't see the linky - just click on the logo below, and it will take you to the Justgiving page, where you can make a secure donation, either by credit card, or paypal.

If Prof.Alex doesn't want a direct link, then I will, of course, take it down again.



Thank you to everyone that has donated so far - we will have an official collection tin at Salute next month, as the Show Organisers have been very supportive as well.
