Traditional boardgames of all kinds.
After looking at the word files for VotG and noting the disadvantages of them I thought it best to try and build on the base that I already had in one of the current versions of the book as an already computerised file. Weighing up the advantages of the two, clearer HTML file or more complex JavaScript but a more modern file, I decided to try and learn how the JavaScript version was put together. To do this I opened the "js" files in notepad and looked at the syntax they used: paragraph("23.2","LEVELS","All ground level hexes of building ...
As many of you know I'm working on this for my own satisfaction and thought it might be a good idea to set out how it's being done and how I'm getting on. The first eRB I got hold of was an HTML copy if the first edition rules. Well presented and clear. The second edition rules I got hold of were in a JavaScript format that I knew nothing about. Since ths set had chapters a-O already, it was this I decided to expand upon. Enforce attempting this, the one piece of equipment you need is a decent scanner. Luckily this is not expensive and every printer ...

And just like that, our Red Barricades campaign was over. My Russian forces were encircled, clinging to a few rowhouses in the southern section of the map. My regiment-sized assault from the east had failed, much like Manstein's historical attempt to relieve the 6th Army had fallen short. There's a time to concede to the agony of defeat, and it was definitely time. I congratulated my opponent, the wiley Marsholio, and we celebrated by drinking a large amount of Ranger ale and watching Sharpe's 8 and 9. We discussed whether to play VotG or FB. The Budapest maps required a larger surface ...
Yes, the blog has skipped a few days of battle. Time is like that...think of it as a tablecloth being folded. Then again, maybe Time isn't a tablecloth at all. We could always invent a few imaginary dimensions to make our formulas work, maybe 6 more or so. Or maybe not. I'll tell you, I was leary (but not Timothy) about taking the time to add more blogs after the Blog link disappeared when the site was redesigned. Ya see, I lost several years' worth of blogs on TV.com after they decided that too few users bothered to use the blog feature. But, the Blog link is back and so am I. I'll briefly catch ...
