Quote from: d_Guy on 28 January 2025, 03:23:52 PMI play with an imaginary friend who is not only witty in conversation but manages to penetrate my most complex stratagems with his piercing intellect.
;D  ;D

I too have such a friend.

Witty?
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

I can testify to both fsn's and d_Guy's wit and wisdom! I'm sure their opponents are of no lesser mettle.

Something I may have mentioned elsewhere.
A scaled ruler.

This allows we in normal size homes to play games written by authors who inhabit places like the palace of Versailles.
The author's cavalry may move 36 inches, my table is 42 inches wide; etc etc.

Such a product is available, generally in specialised architect supplies.
The scales are also unhelpful for wargaming: 1/20, 1/50. 1/100.

In these days of MDF and laser burninators, more wargame friendly scales (2/3, 1/2) ought to be possible.

I read cm for inches in games like Black Powder.

Possibly you are our imaginary friend?  :D

Hold on - does inclusion here now mean fsn's and d_Guy are useful things for wargamers?  :-\

Especially in connection with Centurions, the Napoleonic period and the Scots and Irish theatres of operation during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms  :)
