It is a good option, but I want to avoid hex-and-countery-ZOC-retreat-eliminations and that kind of thing as much as possible so will be investigating other avenues as well!Prufrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659918463589870423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-47376105088260566972015-03-29T06:59:21.170+09:002015-03-29T06:59:21.170+09:00Commands and Colors Napoleonics has a Waterloo sce...Commands and Colors Napoleonics has a Waterloo scenario, I don't know if you could accommodate 4-5 players though.Paul Liddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671334487545618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-91443319296311598612015-03-28T03:43:04.200+09:002015-03-28T03:43:04.200+09:00Not hardcore gamers you say?

You could adapt it to a free form miniatures game. It is like many earlier hex and counter games where you compute the odds, roll on a CRT and exchange/retreat/eliminate units based on the result. They are great fun.

Wonderful stuff, though I did feel sorry for the South Africans. Morne Morkel and Tahir were immense under pressure and you never like to see a champion like Steyn made to look mortal. But what a game from our men! Outstanding :)<br /><br />Wales will certainly be one of the teams to watch, but do they have what it takes to win three tough games in a row? As you say, it will come down to how they work as a team, and how much they can buy into playing as a collective. I think England are going to be very dangerous, and any one of them, Ireland, Wales, SA, NZ and Aus could take the trophy. I don't think France can win three in a row, but they'll be good for an upset or two, I'd say. Will be a very even competition, and hopefully the best WC yet!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />AaronPrufrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659918463589870423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7386336651732048473.post-31746122323045586062015-03-25T20:52:09.515+09:002015-03-25T20:52:09.515+09:00Aaron,

It is not the sort of thing I would go for but I do hear good things about it from reliable people. It sounds quite like what you want and a lot less work.<br /><br />And congratulations on the semi final, fantastic effort. A really exciting final lined up now. I am pinning all my hopes on Wales coming good later this year. They definitely have the best players in the NH but how they play as a team??johnpreecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548014163096067684noreply@blogger.com
