Writing Writing Writing

You know how it is. You have all of this hobby shizzle you want to do, but busting your ass for money takes precedence. So, I am waaaaay behind in a number of fronts. But simultaneously, I'm still making serious progress on writing my skirmish game, Strike Force Commander.

Chas, Joe, & Scotty are being patient, but I know that they wanna have a go again on the playtesting.

I was doing just fine on my time table until something Scott said at our last playtest in December took root in my mind. I said to them that I had over 50 Traits to modify troops with. Scott said I needed more. He was right; now I have 103. Not to mention a buttload of Weapon Traits. I also filled out combat some more with Mounted fighting and Elevated position rules.

I've been writing pretty non-stop for the past two days. That's no exaggeration either. I've been balls deep in finishing this thing.

Well, break's over. Gotta get back to writing about the Orders phase....

Yeah, I finally got bit by the 18th Century gaming bug. It was really unavoidable.

It started with my deep seated love of the American War of Independence, being a Yank & all. Then it flanked me with my love of all things Holy Roman Empire/Austria-Hungary. Then it finally busted a .75 calibre round into my ass with the age of Marlborough & Eugene of Savoy putting the pain to the French. And don't forget that one of my Hall of Fame movies is the Last of the Mohicans....

So, with my continued, but slow, writing of Strike Force Commander, I was finally tempted to start formally reading about the period. The War of the Spanish Succession is cool. Way cool. And I'm a sucker for Tricorne hats!

So, I don't know when I'll get some figs & paint them, but I'm feverishly writing SFC so I can get a playtest group together and maybe get a published game out next year.

Fix Bayonets!
