An interesting discussion of Chainmail and others

[aldarron]

I'm not a Chainmail guy - not for any particular reason, I just never had a chance to play the game and never bought the rules. But... I came across a candid discussion from an interesting gognard who collects and sells army men among other things and I thought the chainmail folks would find it interesting too. Several paragraphs deal directly with Chainmail and obliquely with OD&D. He has two seperate but similar discussions on a wide range of wargames rules and reality type stuff garnered from his personal military and rough life experiences. The first one is shorter.

and a lot more here

www.thortrains.net/wargame/gamedev.htm

both of these are sub boards on www.thortrains.net/armymen/ but the board is not very well organized which is why I listed them seperately.

(Fin, I dunno if maybe this should go in the links section instead ,<shrug> )

Thanks for the links. This guy clearly would be a great person to game with!

[aldarron]

My pleasure. I bet he's got lots of stories... I should shoot him an email and let him know I linked his site here. He probably doesn't know about the board but I think he might have a thing or two to say if he finds his way here.
