This Sunday we will be playing an English Civil War game,but I will be adopting a different approach to the whole game set-up.For years now I have been writing the scenarios,placing the terrain on the table and putting the armies in their respective positions and formations,only for the "boys" to come along and in the first move march the figures left,right and centre,up and down and roundabout,into different positions and formations!! So, what is going to change?
Well,I will still write the scenarios(unless,God forbid, one of the "boys" comes up with a one to give my poor old brain a rest!) and put the terrain onto the table,complete with the number and type of troops each side have,give an objective(s) and let them decide where and in what formation they want to place their troops!!
The games will take a little longer doing it this way,but it will solve a problem and ease my frustrations.
Top photo is the scenario,bottom is the table(denude of troops!) as the "boys" will see it as they arrive on Sunday.
