Martin i think Pony wars is an all day game but you can have a side game as well
i will bring my Battle of little big horn box game for you.

Is pony wars still happening.
The rules have not been published
It is Les' baby though. Nothing to do with me.

Interestingly, the website [https://ponywars.uk/] says that "Pre-Order Subscriptions have now closed", which may be good news for something happening by November...?

If not, I'll be seeking interest payment for all the time they've been hanging on to my cash 

Simon

[Stewart 46A]

Simon, the last info i had was that the rules were at the printers and expect them sent out in July

[Colonel Kilgore]

Stewart,

That is good news, thanks.

Just in time to distract me from my planned post-Crete project... 

Simon

[Sean Clark]

I have a copy of the old version and there's really no difference.

Although I've backed the publishing of it, the thought of painting all of those figures puts me off and just how long does a game take to play? Is it fast play?

[Colonel Kilgore]

I'm looking forward to finding out at the WWW. I can't ever see myself painting a full set of figures, but maybe some 7th Cavalry and Indians that I could also use for Western...

Simon

[Moggy]

Or like me some second hand Confed cav from EBAy cheap. Just enough for a Western force.

Derek

[Sean Clark]

Simon

I have Cavalry and Indians for Western which will do me. Not painted yet though.

[Stewart 46A]

I have been speaking to Les,
I will ask for let of bases, wagons, buildings and livestock from those attending the weekend.

We can adjust the unit sizes to reflect what we have

Remember we try to have at least one non PP game to show how lucky we are to have PP

Stewart

[Sean Clark]

I am OK with that.. You're bringing your Big Horn game aren't you?

[Leslie BT]

Sean, that's good.

We will have two sets of the rules.

I have abstracted the various groups and buildings onto file cards with the specific rules etc, that apply to the group.  It means that all the players can get stuck in as they will have the objectives etc for their figures.

[martin goddard]

Thanks for the work you are doing on this Les.
You had better control the lone ranger figure.

No more mentions of Stewart's "big horn"
