Like the picture I saw of Julius Caesar being assassinated which gave me a lifelong interest in Rome or the cover of Purnell's History of the 20th Century with Henri Leroux's Enfer on it which fascinated me with the First World War, a childhood encyclopedia with pictures of Conquistadors is firmly etched in my head. More and more I'm drifting towards gaming the periods that have resonated with me from a historical perspective rather than the 'rules of the moment' like FoW, SAGA etc.Natholeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14359406949497306737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372382383266967837.post-63506393592978073632015-07-05T09:17:44.850+12:002015-07-05T09:17:44.850+12:00At face value they are far too simple - highest ro...At face value they are far too simple - highest roll wins the fight, but in reality they are quite subtle.

Ok, besides the colorful garb of the Natives.
