With the Christmas holidays fast approaching it's time to think about some special projects. First, because I've got relatives coming, my sacred "room" has been designated a bedroom, which kind of precludes any wargaming activity. My shelves have been "tidied" and the miniatures stored away. As an alternative I'm considering a more simulated approach by looking into the possibility of using cardboard counters or top-down unit views on a gameboard. I've a few ideas involving using the top-downs on some of the paper gaming sites, combined with the use of terrain tiles, overlayed by a perspex cover to keep everything in place.
Second up is to complete my trawl of all the rulesets and army lists for completeness. I'm still actively developing the Future Wars rules with a new "universe" close to my heart concerning the series of wonderful books produced back in 1978-80 describing the evolution of the Terran Federation, written by Stuart Cowley, and illustrated with loads of visually stunning artwork.
