So what is the proposed method of publishing 'The 15Mill'.

Their is very nearly enough from all the discussions on this thread all with the proposed articles, along with some pictures for an issue now!!

So the intention is 4 issues a year? With maybe an odd special edition inbetween.

Duncan

If it goes into shops in printed format will there be a nominal charge to cover ink and paper or just free to garner interest? Will it be colour or black and white?

I have no idea on that one yet Duncan.  Open to suggestions.

I plan to try and pull together a list of manufacturers of 15mm terrain (of various kinds). I'll probably post a list here in due course to check what I've missed.

Meanwhile, another idea for anyone who fancies it: how about a "Rules Spotlight" type of article? This could provide an overview of a given set of rules, figures and terrain needed, etc (similar to what Martin has posted on the PP website for the newer rules), maybe some comments on the available castings, along with rules likes / dislikes, top tactics, easy ways to get into it, etc... The advantage is that we could generate lots of material by having one article for each published set of rules, over time.

This is my plan for a couple of articles....maybe on some of the older rules like Civil War Battles and Bloody Barons.

That sounds like a very good plan!

Simon. Rules spotlight. Scenery. An excellent first article from you.
Duncan can you do an article on what is available in 15mm for fantasy? Plus an article on a particular piece of 15mm scenery you have made.
Les , wargaming in France with 15mm?
Stewart an article on something.
i have requested that Simon Lurkio sets up a board fr 15mill if he can.
i will start pushing for articles ASAP.If anyone has an idea then just  do it  please.

Duncan

Yes, i can look about at what is available, some i know better than others. Will see what i can come up with.

Duncan

I presume that although this is 15mm orientated we can also include articles about other things PP do, for example the current pirate game and associated small scale ships and the ACW small scale ships etc, or would we prefer to leave them out and just literally do 15mm for now?

I think that it should all be the current released catalogue.

We can then just allow Martin to publish the new stuff, rules, figures, buildings as he wishes then we will not interfere with PP commercial interests.

How will the 15 Mill interface with the US and Brockhursts.

A brand new board. Thank you  Simon.

Leslie BT

Thank you Simon for creating this new board.

Dealing with the "Small Ships" this could come under "specials" in the publications, like if Duncans 6mm ECW  game was reviewed in the Magazine say, as these are covered by RFCM rules but played in other scales. Another example is when Les played PBI in 54 mm ? Its a 15mm rules set used in a slightly different way ! That way it show our mind set is not just 15MM We can Do other things !!!
