Subdivision etc

Yesterday afternoon I subdivided one of my gaming mats with dotted lines. I was reminded of school gym halls with different markings for different sports, if you know what I mean-
The dotted lines now provide 30mm squares and the solid lines 60mm. I wanted also to point to a couple of books-
One is an excellent read about the chap who began the Pendon Museum and the other is a John Curry reprint of  an early pioneer of the hobby. I am interested in his single figure grid based rules from 1967 with a view to trying them out for some Lurland games.

    1. It is used when cutting fabric for dress making etc. It belongs to my daughter who also uses it in patchwork. I use it as a convenient plastic ruler with a straight edge.

  2. Tradgardmastare,

    I take it that you are referring to Joseph Morschauser’s single-figure ancient rules? I must admit to having thought about doing something similar some time ago, but never did. I’ll look forward to seeing where you go with this.

    All the best,

    Bob

    2. Tradgardmastare,

      I’ll see if I have, but it might take a few days as I’m currently unable to access my PC.

      All the best,

      Bob

  3. Morschauser’s book is a classic. He doesn’t get the credit his work deserves.
