Battle of the 6 Armies

Hello, Graeme. Very nice! And you have anticipated/scooped-whatever me, with this. I have a guy doing graphics for Warlord so I can do the same thing as you've just done, but with just a folded cardstock base. This looks like one heck of a brawl. Have you had the chance to do much playtesting? Heh, amazing! Gotta run! Later, and the best to you. Joe

Hi Joe, sorry if I've stolen your thunder, but B6A is a project I've been working on for just over the year. It's not been greatly playtested though there have been some chaotic 3-handed unfinished games between myself and my 2 sons (I'm sure they ganged up on me). I've also written a zrf for it which I'm in the process of making ready for general distribution. I am also toying with the idea of writing a preset for it using a hex-lattice board, but I'm not sure if Game Courier supports multi-player games?

Best Regards

Graeme

Hey, Graeme, now I know it was a good idea - somebody good is already using it! And I'm also sure your sons ganged up on you, as my son and daughter would just naturally do that with me. Anyhow, Game Courier is not directly set up for multi-player games, but it can be used for them if the players cooperate. Two are "captains", and they must put all the moves in. They email the set-up to the other players on their "team" as it is each's turn, and the players email them the moves back. Awkward, but I've played some 4-handed chess that way, although the game did peter out after a few moves. Got more to say, but am very busy right now, so ciao.

Enjoy!
Joe
