Simon, Wally; edited by Russ LockwoodSECRETS OF WARGAME DESIGN: A Tabletop Toolkit of Ideas, Analysis, and Rule Mechanics From the Center for Provocative Wargaming... For decades, Wally Simon helped shape miniatures wargaming through Potomac Wargamers Review -- his monthly photocopied newsletter that analyzed the mechanics of wargame rules. First published in the 1970s, PWR ran monthly through August 2002, delving into the nuts and bolts of how rules worked -- and how they did not. Published rules, home-grown rules, and even his own rules came under scrutiny as he created, destroyed, and tweaked rules mechanisms to try and 'produce a game which keeps all players continually busy and interested in what's going on.' In Volume 1, we offer an introduction to 'Wally Rules' and a dozen of his best articles pulled from the pages of PWR. Stuffed full of ideas, concepts, and rules mechanics covering wargaming action across all eras, they offer provocative wit, wisdom, and imagination to help you tweak an existing set of rules or create your own rules to make a better wargame. Contents: * Wally Rules: The Search for Tabletop Perfection * ACW Telescoping Battlefield: Battleline Melee, Reaction Points, and the d6 Crowd * Renaissancing The Rules: Support, Rally Zones, and River Crossings * Revolutionary Morale: Reaction Levels, Cards, and AWI Battles * The Parade Ground Indian Mutiny: Loyalty Quotients and Rally Points * Pushing Panzers in WWII: Barbarossa Ho! Thunder From The Sky Artillery * The Theory Of Melee: Routs, Rallies, and 'Rithmetic * Card Movement Systems: Wild West Gunfights and British Colonials * Ancient City Fight: Gridded Play, Reinforcements, and a Melee Template * Ancient Country Fight: Nodes, Battle Boards, and Command Points * Great Napoleonic Thoughts: National Characteristics and Quantitative Playability * Big Picture Siege Game: A Variable Time Strategy Idea * Sixth Sense For Sequences Of Play: Options, Consequences, and the Future Wally Simon was one of the founders of HMGS, hosting the first meeting in his basement. A statistician by trade, he used his mathematical skills to analyze probabilities within wargame mechanics. Wally's Basement is named after him. Edited by Russ 'MagWeb' Lockwood.

Aelred, Brother; edited by Russ LockwoodAS PER MARGIN: Fleet Action Miniatures Rules for the Age of Sail Command a fleet when ships of wood and men of iron ruled the waves! Some of the most enlightened miniature rules came from the talented Brother Aelred, who wrote the Monk's Corner column in MWAN. As Per Margin: Fleet Action Miniatures Rules for the Age of Sail is the first of his rule sets to be revived, revised, and expanded to grace wargamers' tabletops. Easily learned and quickly played, As Per Margin reflects a philosophy of offering enough flavor for a great game, but avoiding too much realism that would bog down the game. Including the Seven Years War to the Napoleonic Era, As Per Margin's fast play action means you spend more time sailing and firing and less time fidgeting. Clever 'falling aboard' movement brings ships close enough to grapple and board -- and maybe even collide. Optional rules include Red Hot Shot, Shore Batteries, Debris Fields, Elite Crews, and more. * Graphical Ship Charts * 1st Through 6th Rate Ships * Merchant Ships * NO Order Writing! * Uses d6 dice * Quick Reference Sheet with all tables * Includes Scenario: Second Battle of Finisterre October 14, 17471 vol, 32 pgs 2012 US, LOCKWOOD PROJECTS NEW-softcover, available mid March 2013 ......$19.00 rct ..see our WARGAMING RULES
