I hope to do the write-up in the next couple of days.<br /><br />I've an idea I mentioned something about 'doing' a border incident between Orotina and PAPR some time fairly soon. A little bit of back history. In Eastern Europe, perhaps one might see a conflict between Teutonia and the Collective Confederation of the Communist Party - CCCP. :-D<br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-18550041604251028282019-12-11T22:29:57.861-08:002019-12-11T22:29:57.861-08:00Looking forward to seeing this one play out.

Should be good fun.<br /><br />Oh and..... as if the PAPR didn't have enough already I bought them some Soviet Regulars to the the "Federal" force. Equipment would be dated, few decades behind the two Oros but at least they should be of decent quality.<br /><br />They will also be useful for the eastern European setting.Daisy Gowan Ditchburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476802587483833107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-23934565490890998542019-12-11T16:33:26.933-08:002019-12-11T16:33:26.933-08:00Hi Bob -

My only worry has been that the battles might get a little bit stereotyped. We'll see what people think in due course, I guess...<br />Cheers,<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-3223204153279112822019-12-11T16:26:00.575-08:002019-12-11T16:26:00.575-08:00Hi PatrickW -

So I gave the Government a leg-up with half the SP difference in defence works. The BARFist tide came to a very abrupt halt.<br /><br />It seemed only fair to continue with BARF getting the benefit - at least once!<br />Cheers -<br />IonArchduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-88850901726650600532019-12-11T14:51:04.835-08:002019-12-11T14:51:04.835-08:00Archduke Piccolo,

You’ve taken my linear campaign idea to a higher level than I ever considered, and the names of your imagi-nation commanders always cause me to chuckle.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-11433207414677629532019-12-11T13:14:40.655-08:002019-12-11T13:14:40.655-08:00I am quite eager to find out how this battle playe...I am quite eager to find out how this battle played out. Is your addition of the defensive works a planned thing or was it introduced once you had some available? It feels like it slows down play from the battle report at the capital, but it may have been anomalous dice rolling on the attackers part. I am interested in finding out how it felt to you while playing.PatrickWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083947433803227063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-29305575676106354852019-12-11T12:32:52.071-08:002019-12-11T12:32:52.071-08:00Oh, I thought you'd be rather impressed by the...Oh, I thought you'd be rather impressed by the names. Actually, Peenut Buttahjars is not one of mine. I first heard it on an Australian radio show 'The Twelfth Man' - a cricketing send-up by a comedian featuring the voices of well-known (in their day) cricket commentators. PB iirc purported to be a Pakistan upper-order batsman.<br /><br />The map is mainly DIY. I fotocopied onto a jpg file a hex array, then cropped it to the dimensions of my hex-table. I use a blank array as the basis for all my maps, making copies, then adding the details using Microsoft 'Paint' - a very useful application for this kind of thing. There are a couple of features wanting, but I can live without them.<br /><br />I have tried 'Paint 3D' but found it less useful and less handy.<br /><br />The map is drawn up based upon how I gave set up the table. I do make the occasion error of location, by by and large they are accurate enough.<br /><br />One of the reasons for producing these maps for these postings is that I believe (I hope) they help the reader orient themselves in the photographs. It sure helps me!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Ion.Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6650770985225450559.post-45113458850860985982019-12-11T08:09:43.059-08:002019-12-11T08:09:43.059-08:00Ion:
