Wow thats a lot of detail! you can probably get married again but a really�good model....they're few and far between

Not a wargamer myself but that is very nice, one of my brothers used to wargame before he was married, I watched him and his friends game and it was really intense, but he married and all that slowly disappeared.........

Good stuff.
I have a brigade of 6mm 1914 French infantry, cavalry and artillery languishing (not an easy word to type after 2/3 of a bottle of red) in a box: painted, with scenery and rules. Only played with them twice...
HARUMPH!!

Hi everyone
If this works (I've never tried to attach photos before!) you should be able to see some photos of our WW1 game at Salute last week.
We scratchbuilt the board (which was 11ft by 6ft) ourselves in a little over 6 weeks, which almost resulted in a couple of divorces!�Most of�the figures are�1/72 plastic with�a few IT Minatures metal for the specialist subjects like the nurses and doctors at the CCS. We used our new Crush the Kaiser fast play wargames rules.
Hope you like them!
Michel - the decals worked superbly - thanks very much!

�Glad to have been of help! The game looks spectacular!

Hi Keith

The rules will be available very shortly. We're expecting to launch our website soon (www.crushthekaiser.co.uk) and you can email us at crushthekaiser[at]yahoo.co.uk.

The rules work really well with 28mm figures - in fact they work with pretty much any scale. We've done a game with them in 10mm and they worked just fine. The show game was in 20mm as that's what I've got the most of (about 6 battalions of British and 4 of Germans, although we didn't use them all.)

The rules are pitched at the brigade level - the lowest tactical unit is the company of about 14 figures, so they'll work equally well at battalion or brigade level for 28mm.

The idea of Crush the Kaiser is that we aim to cover to whole of the Great War on land and in the air in time. The first set, "Where the Poppies Grow" will cover the�war on the Western Front 1916-1918.

I'll be happy to chat further on the email above!

Cheers

Paul

Oooh dear - you will get spam aimed at that link Paul. Do you want to leave that "mailto" there or would you prefer to have it replaced by a "human but not machine readable" hint such as crushthekaiser [at] yahoo.co.uk?

If you have robust and reliable spam detection and diversion provisions in place you have no worries - and while Yahoo is quite good in that department I'm not sure I would entirely rely on it.

It's not just the spam, it's also the "non-delivery" notices when the spammer decides to fake your address as the "From:" or "Reply-to:" address they send out with millions of non-existent addresses (their "business model" doesn't require them to maintain their lists, it's all about volume with a "shotgun" approach for the worst of them).

Thanks for the advice Steve -�I hadn't factored the spammers in when I posted! That's the problem these days, a simple email address and you get deluged!
