NEW CONTENT PAGE: CHOCOLATE BOX WARS & 19th C VnB VARIANT

A family situation called me away for awhile, but I'm now back and starting to get back into things, starting with this modest bit of news. I've created a separate content page for my 19th Century rules (it is now among the tabs under the blog header illustration). Although the Chocolate Box Wars rules are still a work in progress, everything I have is now available in one handy place (which I'll be updating as I get new things done). I've also posted my 19thC Volley and Bayonet variant there, along with notes and scenario information for the Battle of Dybbol game. This should provide a consolidated reference point for those interested in this material that should be easier to access than searching for content among various individual posts.  The content page is structured to present useable material. For those who may have missed the background and inspiration for the system, you can check out those bits in the "work in progress" posting.   

So Feldmutzekopf and I bid a herzlich willkommen (warm welcome) to those with any interest. Drop by and peruse the new page. For those who already have been to the original posts, there is a bit of new stuff tossed in that might be of interest.
Until next time, adieu, dear readers...

  1. Oh my. I haven't played V&B since the late 90's ( Good memories of games and the email group) but was thinking about it recently when I was contemplating bigger battles without more figures.

    Re Chocolate Box, I was starting to get quite interested in the period at a battle level 15 years ago but so many options, so little time. I'm going to have a look at the rules anyway.

    1. I do hate to think how long VnB has been around. The yahoo group was exceptional. I guess it's still going, but I dropped yahoo with the major interface change of a few years ago. Up until recently, VnB was still a mainstay of our black powder gaming.

  2. Good idea to centralize your CBW work as a one-stop reference point. Your CBW armies sure look nice.

    1. Thanks, Jonathan--I think having it all in one place will also help me to manage the project as well (encroaching just a bit on the chaos...).
