Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me, I recently discovered copies of the British Model Soldier Society magazine "The Bulletin" from 1956 which contain correspondence from Tony Bath setting out his early wargame rules, I don't think these have ever been published anywhere else before and I would like to put them before the wider wargaming public. My idea is to make them available in electronic form (PDF) free for download to enthusiats and the BMSS have given me permission to do this. My problem is that I don't know how to crate a PDF document, anyone out there able to help?

Do you still need help with this, or have you done it already? I'm happy to help if you still need that, or I'd be interested in getting a copy of the pdf if you have it ready already!

I'd be interested in the 1956 PDF if you're still working on it. My question is this: how many versions of Tony's rules were actually published and available to the general public. I have three in my possession and an article in Slingshot states that's all there were. Comparing the three I can see that Tony made major changes in each: he even ends up suggesting that units be based thus avoiding a problem with flats figures. The domino effect which always seem to happen at exactly the wrong moment  ! |

Four if you count the Peltast and Pila Rules which were intended for use with WRG basing of the time (ie around 1975). Peltast and Pila has also has a completely reworked morale system but in other respects the changes were minor IComparing the three I can see that Tony made major changes in each: he even ends up suggesting that units be based thus avoiding a problem with flats figures. The domino effect which always seem to happen at exactly the wrong moment ! He used two layers of card stapled together with slots cut into them which allowed the figures to be easily slotted in and, for casualties removed. |
