A Pyrrhic battle from Devon

Creating something of a loophole here, I thought I might offer this link (found on TMP and not another rerun posted by Tango) of a recent wargame that seems to have found a nice compromise between skirmish-level and acceptable size for a typical wargame.

The blog post also features mention of a new set of rules. Is any one familiar with these? Should they be added to the list of "to be reviewed"?

Here is the link:

Guessing that many of the active members might already be aware of this excellent organization/club.

Cross posting isn't ideal (it can get a bit incestuous) but in this case, a game played with rules not previously mentioned, thus widening our collective horizons, is fine.  Unfortunately, while the report is pretty it doesn't explain much about how the rules work.

PS - Sorry about shunting this but here seemed more appropriate, as you hadn't actually played the game, whereas external game reports do get posted here.

mea culpa, mea culpa . . .

Transgression noted and apology tendered as well as thanks for the appropriate shunting.

Agreed, there was a dearth of info re how the rules actually work, hence the suggestion for a possible review.

In other news, I have experienced some trouble logging on from home station . . . Not exactly sure why as all other wargaming links are working. Hmmm.  ???  :(
