On deck today is a recap of a recent remote game refighting the Battle of Ucles in 1108. Game was played on a grid using 28mm miniatures and Basic Impetvs.

nice Jon
Second Dave . . . Well done.
Impressed not only by the table and figures, but by the flood of comments that your postings typically generate.
I have the IMPETVS rules (and amendments) and have staged a few battles using them. I have not played BASIC IMPETVS though.
The use of hexagons does have a certain appeal . . . eliminates the rulers and tape measures and so forth.
Thanks for the link.
Cheers,
Chris

Happy you enjoyed the battle report, Chris.
Using a grid is very helpful in remote gaming especially with respect to clarity of orders and speed of play.

Jon is also a great commentator on other people's blogs. I often find myself reading Jon's comments as I check through my blogs. I think this is a feature of Jon's approach - his postings are seen as an exchange between bloggers and likeminded folks reciprocate, which forms the basis of a comment flow akin to the Spokane falls.

Thank you, Anthony!
Kudos for slipping in the Spokane Falls simile! You have been paying attention!
