Donnybrook

[Stavros Banjo]

Thanks for the update. Just ordered my copy 
This will be a new period for me so getting ready to dent my wallet some more.

Would really love to give it a look. But about 50% p&p to Europe is a bit steep – or do I miss something there?
I know there's no big money in sales for the producer. But, sadly, there's neither a chance that local retailers will stock this.

You can wait until Northstar gets them (probably in Feb). Their shipping looks to be about half of the cost from the LoA to Europe. No idea on the logistics in Scotland as I'm over in the states. I won't see my printed copies until February!

In the end, it is a lot of money; the P&P for a particular or small business can be really high, perhaps because it is a heavy book.

Are you going to sell it in PDF format? It is a very interesting ruleset.

[quindia]

There are no immediate plans to release a PDF of Donnybrook.

My nice new shiny Donnybrook rulebook landed on the front mat this morning - Hoorah!

Only had chance for a cursory flick through so far but it's a gorgeous looking publication. Well produced with tons of eye candy throughout. Hope the game itself turns out to be just as impressive and I can't wait to get home tonight to give it a serious read through. Did have a bit of a titter at some of the character names; Mustapha Leeq, Iva Plenty (lovely girl), "Dutch" Cassidy, to name a few. All very "Carry On"... Ooooh, Matron 

Better warn the wife, and the wallet, there could be yet another new project brewing

Been interested in this since I heard about it last year but have promised myself no new projects until Salute or possibly later in the year it may have to wait a little

Interesting concept.  The half-nude girl on the cover looks very much like Frazetta's Jungle Girl.

Yes it is, I believe that's a homage by Clarence.

Picked it up today from a local store today which was quite a surprise thought I was going to have to wait to Salute,

Only had a flick through so far, but looks very good

Now to buy a force!

Great idea, I just have received the ruleset and it is great.
I am very interested about how have you applied the new rules for this new period.

Tell me more please!

[Jeff965]

I've had a couple of games with these rules and I like them a lot, the only thing I find I'm not keen on is the different types of die. I use them for skirmishes in 1840's India and I don't use set points for the forces preferring to go with a more story like approach. I give a longer range for rifles, and muskets are allowed to move and fire in this later period.
I'm thinking of binning the different types of die and just adding +1 through 3 for the differing morale types, that way I won't keep mixing the different type of dice up and stop checking having to constantly check wether I have a d8, d10 or d12 before I throw .

[Slorm]

Very interesting idea Jeff965.
I have no problem with the types of dices, what I don't understand is how to balance the troops armed with range weapons and the only Close combat warriors...

Have you joined their forum? If not its here http://www.leagueofaugsburg.com/fightingtalk/index.php
They are very helpful with any questions and you get to talk to the author direct.

[Slorm]

Yes I did, but I was wondering how to use it in medieval, or 19th games, for example in the British colonial empire, how to balace, the zulues assaulting the thin red line.
But well, I will send a message to the author, maybe, he could help me.

Thanks for sharing your ideas and your advice.
