I've been busy with my Advanced Squad Leader Blog. But recently, I was laid off and thought...you know...maybe I'll set up the Geo Hex and just throw some dice. My Kepi & Musket Rules Set was used for this game. I created this basic set of rules with my friend Bill Martin in the summer of 1979. We wrote what I think is the still the best quick play set of rules for 18th and 19th Century line battles. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of course these are really basic rules and will not be to everyone's taste. If you need a lot of chrome..these rules will you hungry. At their core, these rules simply let you set up your figures, roll dice for volleys, cannon fire, and melee with infantry and/or cavalry. There are some subtle tactical considerations, but nothing like a full fledged set of wargame rules. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Rules like these exist for those among us who simply want a quick paced, fast play game that allows us to set up our figures and knock them down in a few hours of focused play. Rules like these are also handy for introducing young players to wargaming without the intimidation of complex rules that leave a player disengaged and disheartened. Easy to understand rules that both sides can easily comprehend and use ensure that the Rules themselves do not become an additional weapon in your opponent's arsenal. After 43 years of playing Advanced Squad Leader...I still am victimized by opponents who pick out an opportune rule to inflict harm upon me. So there'll be none of that here.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now in my set'em up and knock'em down world, I don't base figures. This can be daunting and frankly discomforting for many players. There is a tediousness to constantly moving and setting up hundreds of individual figures. Some of us enjoy that aspect of miniature gaming...and a great many do not. But in my demonstration game that follows, I would play it solo and move all the figures in this game by hand for the duration of the battle, which would last about 8 hours. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The battle depicted is a simple elimination game. The British and Prussians attempt to stop the French, Russian, and Austrians from forcing them off the board. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWlf2HhlUE-a_keMNwZVf6ughDA-Vx6GaTynUxCUnIeJaowBz0Lunkz7hCcO3XEyT7UFFz97DQQoE19LjHj1_Awxt-ohaOGY4Iwbdc4A1wxigasm2bK2eYDVhQ7whbLa5aX_2Ee_Vo-HYR/s2958/IMG_1610.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="997" data-original-width="2958" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWlf2HhlUE-a_keMNwZVf6ughDA-Vx6GaTynUxCUnIeJaowBz0Lunkz7hCcO3XEyT7UFFz97DQQoE19LjHj1_Awxt-ohaOGY4Iwbdc4A1wxigasm2bK2eYDVhQ7whbLa5aX_2Ee_Vo-HYR/w640-h216/IMG_1610.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Set up time for this monstrosity was around 3 -1/2 hours over two evenings. The Geo-Hex was purchased in 1988 and is in remarkably good condition after three decades. One of my two tables was not level and resulted in the tectonic plates shifts that you see. The figures are a mixture of Revell, Airfix and ESCI. My favorite figure set are the Airfix Prussians. I believe these are among the best figures ever produced by Airfix. Good molds, good plastic, good poses...just all around some of their best work. The Airfix French and British Line Infantry are also quite good. The ESCI figures are fantastic and really do put the Airfix figures to shame. The only Revell force on the map are about 50 men of the British 95th Rifles. They are beautiful miniatures.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Airfix French and British cavalry are good figures but a true nightmare to get their horses properly fixed into their bases. Just awful. The ESCI are once again fantastic. Not a lot of artillery on the field, but 4 cannon to the British effort and 6 to the French effort.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The total number of figures involved in this fracas was 1608. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI-n4F2mYcTJ3MzEZCmWh_YHZ7glxdGN53FA5cYLWAo6hrDk4dQX1dWyAMZO2GZymI3Rafa_g7SOAhISgtsrnfn0TW0Lccwc_-pzNIAa7uO9EAfQC9w_0hETmHRTS30zXrsyEdiW9WYT5F/s2980/IMG_1611.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="986" data-original-width="2980" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI-n4F2mYcTJ3MzEZCmWh_YHZ7glxdGN53FA5cYLWAo6hrDk4dQX1dWyAMZO2GZymI3Rafa_g7SOAhISgtsrnfn0TW0Lccwc_-pzNIAa7uO9EAfQC9w_0hETmHRTS30zXrsyEdiW9WYT5F/w640-h212/IMG_1611.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div>The first volleys are fired by the opposing lines.

As many of you know, Joplin, Missouri was devastated by an F5 tornado last May. One of the businesses hit was the local hobby store there and its WH40K Gaming Group.<br />
<br />
As it happens, one of its member works for a company that is a supplier to my company. During the course of one of our luncheon meetings, this engineer and I discovered that we were both into miniature gaming. He is a big fan of Chaos Marines.<br />
<br />
Well long story short (shorter), he told me about the storm's impact on their gaming. I offered to sell off my collection of Catachans, Ultra Marines, Tyranids, Dark Eldar, Tau, Kroot, Necrons, Imperial Guard and Mordians along with about 5 years of White Dwarf for a very small sum. I wanted to help out this gaming group and with my son off to the Marines in November, I will lose my only opponent.<br />
<br />
So yesterday we made the drive up to Joplin and handed over the collection. The timing could not have been better. Yesterday was the grand reopening of the Joplin Gaming Store.<br />
<br />
So I say farewell to my boys, particularly my Catachans. They never saw a Tyranid they couldn't knock down.<br />
<br />
Boys do good service in Joplin.GrumbleJoneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03967748380221324792noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001771109291938805.post-85312103991737965832012-08-26T16:47:00.002-07:002012-08-26T16:47:55.841-07:00Wow...Talk about Big Boy Toys!!!<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slG5dxcbZ-0&feature=g-all-lik" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slG5dxcbZ-0&feature=g-all-lik</a><br />GrumbleJoneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03967748380221324792noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001771109291938805.post-80549768992453201252012-07-04T18:08:00.001-07:002012-07-04T18:08:13.866-07:00Big Boy Toys<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The amazing flag curator, Steve Allie. My three days working with this gentleman taught me a great deal. If you are a fan of the movie Glory...you can hear Steve's voice as he says "Fire" just as the 54th Mass. marches towards the beach near the end of the movie. As you may have guessed, Steve was also a pretty good Civil War re-enactor.</div>
