We might just keep moving it into later eras, using the same hex map and plastic drawers with hidden sips of paper noting troopss and supplies. to determine our 1/32 armies positions prior to deployment.<br /><br />We also have some non-human neighbors who have not. as yet entered the conflict - orks, undead, Chaos and Dark Elves.Quantrilltoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03824237942276969880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185876513552272723.post-37212198285238076332015-01-05T09:53:39.235-08:002015-01-05T09:53:39.235-08:00Absolutely excellent blog, most inspiring.... if i...Absolutely excellent blog, most inspiring.... if it weren`t already take (by you) I`d steal the name "Polemarch" for my own imagi-nation campaign... what a neat name for a county or state.<br /><br />Steve :))Stevehttp://shiftymushrooms.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5185876513552272723.post-34205184209701536522013-06-03T07:23:11.920-07:002013-06-03T07:23:11.920-07:00Oh, yes.
