I received the new Napoleonic set from Gerry Elliot called "In the Grandest Manner" Very inspirational and well put together, however, these rules that are so clearly derivative of Gilder's Napoleonic rules fail to mention Gilder himself (at least I have seen no direct mention on my first reading). This seems an unfortunate omission. Good luck with this project. We colonial gamers need as much fire in the steamer as we can get. I love playing my rules, but had lots of fun playing Gilder's too and his game (your game) provided the inspiration I needed to write my own game. Good luck with this....my cheque is in the mail as soon as you have it done.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016026243594377089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362692927621663860.post-28873330062233547632014-08-28T15:07:01.130+08:002014-08-28T15:07:01.130+08:00Thanks L,

Postage will all be at cost no matter where it will be sent in the world and the key aspect is to provide great value in terms of the rules, printed cards, Coated QRS etc. or around 20 pounds. Thats the plab at least. Thanks for te comments and please keep visiting for some updates.Carlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17002425294986020268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5362692927621663860.post-28680188046436768832014-08-25T08:22:48.347+08:002014-08-25T08:22:48.347+08:00TFL fan and US gamer here, and let me confirm that...TFL fan and US gamer here, and let me confirm that PDF is definitely the desired format for we overseas gamers.

They're probably in storage at my parent's since I had to leave a bunch of stuff behind when I emigrated to the US. I'll ask someone to look them out for me. If they can be found - and it's a big *if* - I'll also see if they can be scanned, and I'll share them with you if you like.

PDF is a good idea and I will need to get some expertise in terms of having it a format not too dissimilar to Simon of Big Red Bat fame,who has an index that takes you straight to the correct rule section etc. instead of having to scroll through the whole document. Yes, it has been quite a process to even get to this stage, however the end result will hopefully be worth it.
