I've loved BLB since the first edition - perhaps my favourite part being the Chance Events/ Cards - which I would very much like to be retained (and I'm sure will be). It's also such a handsome rulebook - a pleasure to play and read. <br /><br />I do like the idea of having a set of "bolt on" supplementary rules. I like the games we've played to have as much of the late-17th century flavour as possible - it's what makes the period distinctive.<br /><br />Above all, thanks so much for doing this (and everything you've done so far). The best of luck with play-testing and finalising what I'm sure will be a great Third Edition.Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037582458537250032.post-11857188604615253732016-08-31T02:20:35.197-04:002016-08-31T02:20:35.197-04:00This is the right time for these comments please k...This is the right time for these comments please keep them coming. Some quick answers and some longer ones - <br />Events cards - already in the machine for the project and we think we have a nice elegant solution for that based on a deck of about 70 cards I created from the large weekender and home games. <br />Orders - longer answer. Will seriously consider above suggestions but IGYG would slow large games down to a crawl particularly if it was something like Blenheim. We have created a largish optional rules section for variant games so we'll have a look at that. The 2nd iteration markers were we thought innovative at the time but Clarence has already produced a lower key more conservative third gen which we used at Historicon and which will be commercially available soon. <br />C & I will discuss the orders thing and revertaugsburgerobersthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07668623413869707906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037582458537250032.post-52108105096197515762016-08-31T02:08:10.426-04:002016-08-31T02:08:10.426-04:00Barry, Sounds very good.

I did like the original set of order & status chips (not so fond of the second version, sorry), but I wonder if there is a different order mechanism that could be used in light of recent games in other genres & periods? Perhaps order dice, activation dice or cards, a playboard in the ilk of SAGA, etc as well as "event cards" or order/event cards played from a hand each turn even. These are just some mumbling thoughts! No matter what, I have a copy of V3!!

It sounds like your play testers are knee deep into...well play testing. So I have an observation and not sure if this has been mentioned, but any chance of an alternate order/activation sequence? Namely in the form of an, "I go you go"? I'm not a BIG fan of the order markers and was curious if you have thought about another variant as mentioned as oppose to placing orders at the same time? Either way, I really enjoyed the period and BLBv2 are my go-to rules for this period, and look forward like most followers of any additions to the system and/or various periods.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03494218705580247247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8037582458537250032.post-49251859088773035422016-08-30T16:34:38.172-04:002016-08-30T16:34:38.172-04:00I have a lot of hope some of the valid queries on ...I have a lot of hope some of the valid queries on the League of Augsburg are dealt with in the new set!! - I like BTLB2 - though we have had to make a lot of rulings on the rules mid game, as things came up!<br />I will DEFINITELY be getting the new set!
