For King and Parliament publishing update

[Steve J]

Just ordered. I was lucky enough to proof read the rules and thought they looked pretty damned good to be honest. Can't wait to get my grubby mitts on them and then time to plan some Monmouthesque Rebellion games

Congratulations Mollinary a major achievement

I can feel a trial game with our regular group rapidly approaching

Thanks Paul!

If your regular group have played To the Strongest they should find the transition relatively simple, the biggest changes are in the command structure and the return fire mechanism.  And there will always be help available if you encounter problems!

Hello

Well now that the minor distraction is out of the way, attention can revert to the Renaissance and Fantasy versions  .

Cheers

Ordered the pdf this morning. Waiting on delivery,

I ordered the PDF which Simon sent to me late last night NZ time. Mrs Shy got grumpy with me as I was trying to read them last night 

Well worth the 10 quid investment I would say  I really like the C17 "period feel" that most of the pictures and play examples use. I think the authors should be very proud of their creation.

I'm sure Paul and I will be trying out a trial game soon. I imagine we will use the example battle in the rules (Battle of Montgomery 1644) since he has suitable Royalist and Parliamentary unit bases already.

Off to read up some more so I can understand the rule mechanics as we have not played To the Strongest and only seen one test game of FK&P, so gridded games are a new frontier for our group.

Thanks to mollinary for getting in touch with Simon, a link to the PDF has been sent through. As it seems something ate the PDF which Simon had sent out within minutes of my ordering this morning. Computers...

I've done a fair bit of reading of the rules, and am liking what I see. What are particularly fun are the little grey box outs with examples in, especially when you pay attention to the commander's names. Although I think most will only make sense to English men of a certain age...

Glad your first look is proving positive.  With regard to the names, what do you expect when the rules are written by English men of a certain age........ (well at least one   . )?

[d_Guy]

They work to American men of a certain age with access to Wikipedia.

I didn't expect anything around the names used in examples. But was pleasantly surprised and amused by it

I confess that coming up with them helped make a potentially rather tedious task more enjoyable.  However, it does give away the somewhat puerile nature of my sense of humour!

Had hoped the rules had arrived today, as our son told me one of my 'book parcels' had arrived. Sadly not to be but not all bad as it was one on Monmouth's Rebellion ordered last week. Let's hope for tomorrow, if the Royal Mail first class delivery arrives, even though it would be a day late...
