Gentlemans Wargames Parlour.
Good and bad news good people.
The bad news is that we are not back on line with Xsorbit  :'( >:(
The good news is that we are currently decorating a new club house which is much improved on the last.
We hope to open the doors late next week.

I will keep you posted.

Yippie skippie! ;D

Bring it on! GWP is much missed; I really liked its atmosphere of calm, friendly maturity.

 We are down to our final 5 source books!Which is great news for us. Bill at Musketeer has a few more that he is taking to Tonbridge show next weekend.
We will be doing a small reprint which hopefully will be available for Salute and Triples

Phew! Lucky I bought one yesterday.

On the figures front would it be possible to have a pack with say 2 BUF Lewis Gunners and No.2s rather than having to buy the personality pack.  While I like the chap with the MP28 and the Lewis gun, there is limited scope for using the saluting figuremore than once.

Another plus and a total aside is my mate just pointed out that the BUF also make excellent Dr Who Kaleds for Genesis of the Daleks. So I shall be buying some more in the future for that purpose too...
They were all drawn to the Keep; the soldiers who brought death; the father and daughter fighting for life; the people who have always feared it; and the one man who knows its secret....

 :o

Only a small one? Oh'm'gosh... This is what you get for assuming that such a success means a big reprint. I forget the historical perspective gained from the hobby however. One success does not equal two.  :'(

So I'll have to jump on one of the second editions, or hope you good fellows see the potential in PDF.

In any case congratulations on a successful sales run of the first edition! Such a cracking idea; destined for fame and fun.

You will need to ask Bill at Musketeer

Well, I just finished reading the Source Book.  Though not a Gamer I do enjoy history and "alternatives" are often enjoyable.

My Questions are:-

The General "Wynd Gator"/"Grator" - don't have the book with me but I'm sure both spellings appear - of the Imperial Army.  Is this a real person?  If "yes" any links?  (I have some WW1 Sikh Infantry somewhere in the queue...)

At the end of the book you leave open the possibility of a second book - not a reprint, but a new book.  Is this likely to happen?  (Just curious.)

GWP coming back - wonderful. I'll be there as soon as I know it's open. Line me up a virtual G & T at the bar!
Source book part 2 - yes it's a definite for some future time. Rob has a "real" history book he's got to produce at the moment, apparently, but ideas are being accumulated to work on the source book follow up.
