Title: Look What I found In Court Today!?!
Post by: Jarhead0331 on September 07, 2012, 02:18:11 PM
Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Kings...just sitting on a little bench outside of Judge Rivera's part, all by itself...

Very random...think it's a sign?

Yeah, it's a sign someone is looking for their rulebook.

Problem is - you're not a minis gamer. But you could be...

Pat Condray, the author is on Facebook, HMGS.
You should let him know you saw his rules in court.  He's got a pretty wicked sense of humor.

I'm not sure that era is most likely to attract him, though.

Then we'll eventually find one that breaks him. :)

IMHO...this is obviously a case of rules-lawyering gone amok.  I would bet that a poser-grognard needed adjudication on a issue regarding melee combat following ranged combat with muskets, sought satisifaction at the local Court of County of Kings, where the Right Honorable Judge Rivera reminded said neophyte that the plug-bayonet of the day would have precluded a final "volley before melee", gave the offender a proper dressing-down and sent them packing to the local Toys-R-Us to buy a game of Risk.  Or Battleship.

I can see no other reason why a perfectly good set of rules should be left unaccounted for, unless they were misappropriated by a wanna-be-grog in the first place.

Actually, I've always been interested in John Churchill.  He sure gave the French a a run for their money.  True though, not sure its an era I'd want to "game."  My little pony on the other hand...

Glad you raised the issue about rules-lawyering.  We seriouly need lawyers and judges for (ASL) rule interpretaion and implementation.  That's the "downside" of board and table top games as opposed to computer wargames.

Now that's a thought. LB. 
IF they had Facebook back in the day, think of the posts.  Comments on the orgies in Rome?
Julius Caesar's sexual exploits?
Complaints on the working conditions from the authors of the Dead Sea scrolls?

Well done, Tent.
Always felt a little sad for Big Julie.  Getting it from his own son.  And right in the rotunda, the worst possible place!
