For King and Parliament publishing update

[mollinary]

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...

Hi Steve,

I know Simon had a (very welcome) big response to the launch on Friday, so some orders may take a day or two to arrive. I hope you find it worth the wait!

Good to hear there has been a big response

Pierre the Shy and I should be giving the sample scenario a run on Friday

Hi Andrew,
I know it will be worth the wait. The rules were posted  on the Friday, it's just the Royal Mail being a tad slow. Great to hear there has been a big response to these rules . Well done to the both of you!

I'm not 100% sure why but I have not felt so motivated by a new set of rules for some years.  I have read the rules over several times and feel we should be able to use them without too much drama once we have played a couple of turns.

I have taken the Royalist cause for our upcoming battle, playing Lord Byron. I have promised Paul that I will not start espousing poetry.....

Then I see D Guy has posted his thoughts on Montrose's Army at Tippermuir using FK&P on his blog that I follow: http://inredcoatragsattired.com/2018/03/26/can-little-beasts-with-lions-roar-montroses-army-at-tippermuir-1644-configured-for-fkp/

VERY useful indeed

Thanks for the linkage, Pierre. I really like Baroque but FK&P just seems to capture what I want to do. Will be anxious to see how things turn out for you guys Friday. Hopefully you'll start on your north of the border stuff soon.

 Still no rules ...

You obviously need to flog your postman until his morale improves!

Use an officer to replay his activation card

I have gladly taken up the cause of Parilament and promised not to sing Pslams 
Based on watching a test game, I too am really looking forward to trying this set of rules

[Steve J]

Hmmm, the 'Royal' part of the Royal Mail is obviously sabotaging this staunch Parliamentarians desire to get his Godly hands on these rules .

[d_Guy]

...and my hard copy just arrived - here in the back woods of another continent - Royal Mail Postage Meter stamps and all (Sorry - Steve - just having a bit of fun - although, as Paul suggests, trying another activation draw may be in order - hope you get yours soon!).

It looks great, BTW, and what I really appreciate it uses heavy stock for covers and pages - and spiral bound.

[Steve J]

Still no rules . Glad yours arrived though Bill (he said through clenched teeth ). I've let Simon know and if nothing has arrived by Saturday, he is going to send out another copy. To his eternal credit, he sent me a free digital version to tide me over until the hard copy arrives. What a gent!

[paulr]

Well done Simon

[Steve J]

I've been told my package has arrived... .
