It kinda leaped off the shelf into my hands. That was my introduction to wargaming and synchronicity at the same time.<br /><br />An abiding interest in SCW would tend to mark as on the same orbit even now. Very interesting.Adelaide Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052999343460635401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-59056774629101505602011-06-07T23:05:19.098+01:002011-06-07T23:05:19.098+01:00Me too.

We very rarely used it, and it fell out of use quickly, - both the protractor and the rule.<br /><br />We also dispensed with the "rolling to hit" aided v unaided vision roll, and used estimating the distance.<br /><br />As you say, Bob, a version of these will do me fine.Trebianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221916804339000102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-14935317087869482992011-06-07T21:27:45.441+01:002011-06-07T21:27:45.441+01:00Loved the SMG cone and 'the angle of strike pr...Loved the SMG cone and 'the angle of strike protractor'Mosstrooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08744308664219116701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-77239960056584644212011-06-07T20:46:08.341+01:002011-06-07T20:46:08.341+01:00Trebian,

I also used them as a basis for a set of modern rules that I used for some time during my youth ... and if memory serves me correctly, the armour rules will probably work quite well for your purposes.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.com
