Once you've had a look let me know how far apart we are, then I'll get in touch.<br /><br />TrebianTrebianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221916804339000102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-89307189723230802292014-07-14T12:02:39.672+01:002014-07-14T12:02:39.672+01:00Hi Graham, I was interested to see your Rapid Raph...Hi Graham, I was interested to see your Rapid Raphia rules, as I have a written a card driven, grid based set myself, although the mechanics appear to be rather different. If you drop me an email I'd be very pleased to send you a copy.

A game is judged by how it plays. It's okay to have your toys and terrain admired, but if that's all any one is impressed by then the game's a failure.<br /><br />And no one is impressed by you just turning up with someone else's rules unless you have a really, really, good reason.Trebianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221916804339000102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-39694516967028237922014-07-13T22:18:29.912+01:002014-07-13T22:18:29.912+01:00I really enjoyed these last two posts.

I also really enjoyed the pictures of the Afghanistan game with the block compound. Took me straight back to an earlier time when the game was the thing, not the elaborate terrain and paint jobs with flashy rulebooks etc.Natholeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359406949497306737noreply@blogger.com
