Of course not.
Scales used in stores, that can be certified or controled by the local administration are to be labeled in decimal system, for fairness sake.
You can, of course, write any book using any system you want or even invent your own.

Eeeerrhh, yes, but metric system is on base ten. Which makes it a little easier to handle (or do I miss something on imperial?).

Whilst here in Belgium we use metric, I must say that for wargames I like inches. It seems easier and in proportion with the games.
But I can not understand how you can use the imperial system for calculations in physics :wink:

I think that the problem in DBx is not that much with the recoil mechanism which indeed simulates well the disruption of the lines. Nor with the attrition being secundary. The problem is, in my opinion, in the "all or nothing" result range. Normally, wathever the matchup of units, you coul...

Black box is used here for a system where you don't see what is happening inside. In many detailed tactical old sets of rules, you had detailed mechanisms for any actions, with lots of modifiers applied. So when a unit did something (react, panic, took casualties...), you knew why and what was invol...

There is still the possibility to go your own way. Vis Bellica has adopted its own base sizes and seems to be quite succesful. In most elements based games, only the front size is crucial and only because every element must have the same. So rebasing for elements games is generally not so important ...

Warmaster stands are 20X40mm (except round command stands which are between 20 and 30mm across). The longer edge is the front for infantry and the smaller one for cavalry. Warhammer army battle is not a stand game, so the size is given for individuals and you base as much as you find convenient toge...

Re: In pursuit of a wider market

Here's the idea I came up with. Miniatures gamers may perhaps sneer in contempt, but this isn't aimed at them. It's aimed at those who are not now minatures gamers, and are put off by the task of buying and painting army sets. Years ago, I saw for sale at a local (board) games store plastic envelop...

Schedule?

Maybe is it too soon to ask, but do you have already a time for the release of the rules?
Do you intend to produce them in print? in electronic format for download? both?

I find the description of the rules very interesting, it looks like the game I have been waiting for. I'll watch your site.

Hi, modding with PC is just adding in the Legion Arena folder a Mod folder with new versions of what you want. As you can indeed open the package easily by right-clicking, can you also add a modfolder? And if yes, at which level? Or can you only open and hack the existing files? Great game anyway, m...
