HAWK Zeb Cooke ran a cowboy game at last Friday’s club meeting using Combat Patrol(TM). Players controlled posses, gangs, units, etc. vying for control of the town and possession of gold, cattle, and a saucy bar wench. (I may have made up that last bit.)

I purchased three bags of Pulp Figures Indians at Historicon in a pre-order deal. These are meant to be for the Flint and Feather rules by Howard Whitehouse.

There were a number of Combat Patrol(TM) games at Fall In 2016. The breadth of the games showcased the flexibility of the system. The number of younger players who caught onto the systems quickly demonstrates the ease of the rules. I scheduled two iterations of a Poland 1939 skirmish involving a Polish armored train. WWII […]

I intended to arrive in the mid-afternoon on Thursday, but then we scheduled an interview for a potential hire late Thursday afternoon.
