I know of Rommel but haven't tried it, in part because I'm a little iffy on gridded games and (I may be wrong about this) I think Rommel is intended for 6mm WW2 gaming and I don't want to go there. That being said, everything that I've seen Sam M do is highly playable, so I suspect his rules are a little more playable and "gamey" than OGrp.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-291744346065030482021-12-01T12:47:27.347-08:002021-12-01T12:47:27.347-08:00It's definitely not for the faint of heart. ...It's definitely not for the faint of heart. I think that the TFL strategy is to let Dave Brown do the heavy, "grognard" type games under the Reisswitz Press label, and for Clarkie and co to do the lighter, more tongue in cheek ones. I have both of Brown's other titles, PC and GdA, and find them well organized and manageable. No comment yet on OGrp's playability, but I hope I can start getting to grips with it soon.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-39116908735232396692021-12-01T12:45:26.791-08:002021-12-01T12:45:26.791-08:00Pat, if you don't yet belong to it, the Frozen...Pat, if you don't yet belong to it, the Frozen Lard page on Facebook is worth following, there are many more photos of the day posted there by Barnaby.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-41455257364458812612021-12-01T12:44:48.940-08:002021-12-01T12:44:48.940-08:00It was very good to be out!It was very good to be out!Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-61097909520886392462021-12-01T12:44:33.885-08:002021-12-01T12:44:33.885-08:00Thanks Steve.

Lard games aren't the only ones in town, but they have enough critical mass and enough of a foothold in the historicals community, even the small one we have here in Canada, to merit a day of their own. It was a good day out indeed, my first "proper" gaming day since Covid. I hope Omicron will allow us to have more!Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-38536129246072663092021-11-30T14:11:47.000-08:002021-11-30T14:11:47.000-08:00Lucky so and so!

It feels as if there's a bit of organizing of information that is lacking. Even though we knew that there was a rule in the book, we could not find it quickly. We found it an hour later when we stumbled across it looking up a different rule. It's a shame because Pickett's Charge is much more organized so I know that Dave and Co can do it.siggianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12964979635375875224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-75943267588460468742021-11-29T13:13:57.242-08:002021-11-29T13:13:57.242-08:00Great report PadreGreat report PadrePatGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00379668269395518541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-6883037468370147292021-11-29T10:38:26.636-08:002021-11-29T10:38:26.636-08:00Good see you out, Michal!Good see you out, Michal!Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-81600691114261477712021-11-29T09:00:17.348-08:002021-11-29T09:00:17.348-08:00I'm glad you were able to get in a Lard Day ou...I'm glad you were able to get in a Lard Day out on your side of the pond, as they tend to be very popular here.
