Hmm, that could be the title of the my new rules I tried out with the help of KevinA at the club.
( IDIAD)?
After a beer or two at home while looking at new basing techniques for my small collection of 20mm Ottoman and ANZAC troops for the desert of Sinai 1917, a concept for the basis of a home-brew rule set popped into my head, so I produced a VERY sketchy idea which needed some help filling out. Such as....umm, how far do they move...THAT sort of thing!
Luckily Kevin was game to help me out during the club night and by the end of the evening we had a simple, convention friendly game which we both stepped back from the table, with a grin on our faces and stating "That was a fun game!"
The rules are still very rough but seemed to flow. Lots and lots of dice. Only sixes do anything. Kevin and I certainly have trouble rolling sixes (twice Kevin rolled 32 x d6 dice and did not score a single 6!) The real slow part was carefully counting out the dice for each roll!
The figures are HaT 1:72 soft plastics with a very simple paint job and highlighting wash. The trenches are made from cheap self-hardening clay with the 'sandbags' a mere impression in the clay (a very quickly done impression...obviously....). The tents are cut from a large Toblerone chocolate triangular box, painted and glued on card. Very old school!
I have not finalized the basing still so went really simple but actually kinda works so might stay with it!

| Australian horse attack Turkish position |

| Needed only NOT to roll any six to activate on two die. I couldn't do it for five turns in a row! Thus my poor disheartened Turks continued to mill about. |
