So I went a little crazy this afternoon, passed up on a lunchtime “meal deal” and instead spent my money on a coffee and this month’s Wargames Illustrated magazine. This month’s magazine includes a ruleset called Blam! Blam! Aargh! which looks really interesting:

 

It recommends a 3×3 board for a fast-paced skirmish game but, interestingly, splits it into large regions or “zones” rather than squares or measured distance movement. In the rules it suggests using a larger board if you like – but *also* recommends keeping the board split into the same number of regions (i.e. an offset 5×5 grid). So instead of a larger board creating more areas/zones, the number remains the same (and each area just gets larger).

I fancy giving the rules a try but will have to find someone to play them with, as my wife is thoroughly sick to death of most of my days being taken up with coding apps for tabletop gaming (so I’m not going to get away with committing a few weeks to coding up a computer-driven opponent just to try a new ruleset out!).

Has anyone else played these rules?
