The DPW shows this as it contains Ancient rules, more detailed mid 20th century, and Air Combat rules.

The PW rules are generic BUT are designed so that the mechanisms can be adapted for specific historical periods or to meet individual players’ requirements. There were also two sets of basis rules, one for the 19th century and one for the early/mid 20th century. The PW book was originally intended to be a ‘one off’, and contained a brief history of gridded wargames and several explanatory chapters about the different types of grids available, lines of sight, basing models, solo play etc. > I thought "The Portable Wargame" was your core rulebook and the other books were supplements.ĭoes "The Portable Wargame" have a historical theme as well or is it a generic wargame? For example, I know someone who uses the basic 19th century rules for PW with the naval rules from Gridded Naval Wargames and the campaign rules from PCW. > Is your book "The Portable Colonial Wargame" also a standalone game?Īll my books are stand alone, although quite a few people have bought all of them and ‘mix and match’ from them to meet their particular requirements.

That said, the Army Lists in WEC! are useable with the PW rules. WHEN EMPIRES CLASH! is a forerunner of TPCW, but is a different set of rules with different mechanisms. > What is the difference between "The Portable Colonial Wargame" and "When Empires Clash!"? The DBA armies should work with the PW Ancient rules. > It would probably be easy to transfer DBA army lists to your game, wouldn't it?

You don’t need the first book in the series to fight wargames, but you might find it useful to read TPW at some point. To play Ancient battles, then I’d recommend the rules in DTPW. > To play ancient battles do I need the book "Developing The Portable Wargame" or are the main rules sufficient? (Some players use blocks of wood for units.) I recommend each player has 10 to 12 unit/bases. so there is no pre-set number of figures. Sides are made up of units (aka bases), and most players mount their figures on multi figure bases. > And how many figures do you need on each side? My cousin divided his Dragon Rampant army. On the 26th of May, last year, around noon, one day after my 49th birthday, he moved his Greek army into hexagon 70 on our campaign map to expand the territory of the Aquarians. Once most items are available to buy, you can also buy the shopkeeper's hat for a million candies. About once a year my cousin comes to Berlin to play a turn in our Waltrop campaign. It will sell you Leather Gloves (to be enchanted), Lollipops, a Chocolate bar, and the very useful Time ring. The shop is located within the starting town, and it contains a number of low-level items that will be useful later.
