C&C type games seem to work best for 10 or 12 units a side (including leaders) - much smaller than that and C&C might be too blunt an instrument to work well, though in fact I've played some small actions which went OK.<br /><br />Cheers - MSFMSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-17181388290093808262013-05-28T19:33:12.550+01:002013-05-28T19:33:12.550+01:00Got the downloads, thank you very much, and I'...Got the downloads, thank you very much, and I'm off for a read. The down side is that I was tinkering with some ECW sets myself as I 'found' some ECW figures I'd forgotten I had and thought about having a small sideline project.<br /><br />C&C aren't the style of rules I'd normally game, but I'm already very taken with the chance cards and I'm also delighted to have someone to blame for my sideline getting out of hand!<br /><br />:O)GaryAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06963552380378929829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-57706395668094783412013-05-28T11:27:37.410+01:002013-05-28T11:27:37.410+01:00Just goes to show that you can't believe all y...Just goes to show that you can't believe all you read on the C&C forum! I'm glad the download is still available, as you know I started with the download and eventually invested in the box game so it's good business sense really. It's funny, I enjoy playing with the blocks now. Now, if only there was a set of ECW block stickers :-)'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-14024401098586310782013-05-28T10:16:38.193+01:002013-05-28T10:16:38.193+01:00Lee - I published your comment anyway, since it is...Lee - I published your comment anyway, since it is a useful sanity check. I checked, and the rules download is still available from GMT - the link I give does not quite point to the right page anymore, but it gets you to GMT, and the CCN page is easily found there.<br /><br />I'm a fully paid up owner of the boxed game (as you know!) so my conscience is light and easy. Seriously, since I am not selling my variant, and since if I was it would hardly offer much of a commercial threat to GMT, I don't expect any problems. On balance, it might draw more people's attention to GMT than it distracts, so it's probably OK. Whatever, if anyone is really unhappy about this, I can withdraw the links in five minutes!<br /><br />I would be uncomfortable imagining all those miniatures gamers with CCN sitting unopened on their shelves - think of all those unused wooden blocks, for a start - how many trees would it take to replace them?<br /><br />Thanks again - Cheers - Tony<br /><br /> MSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-70080633833250595622013-05-28T10:07:38.563+01:002013-05-28T10:07:38.563+01:00Thank you Lee - very much indeed.

My understanding is that GMT removed the free rule download because 'miniature gamers' were using them without purchasing the box game! I read this on the C&C forum and it said the info came from Borg. I tried to find the ancients recently and I'm sure they have been removed too? Don't take this as gospel, I might be wrong and I'll check back for confirmation when I get a chance.

It's rare that you find such a complete set of rules plus command cards etc, all beautifully produced with excellent graphics made freely available. I swear GMT could put that out as an 'official' version exactly as it stands and sell loads!<br /><br />Dragoons will be making the journey North this week, I really like the way you have incorporated them into these rules.<br /><br />'Lee.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02728400013024811279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-88826174746749991072013-05-28T08:59:20.369+01:002013-05-28T08:59:20.369+01:00I was thinking about this only yesterday!
