KLast week’s conversation at Tercio Towers revolved around Virtual Reality and the future of tabletop gaming. I have to admit to my reservations as to whether you and I will be collecting, painting and playing with miniatures. My greatest shock was to see the “augmented reality” of the I-phone 8. Looking through the lens on the I-phone, you could see a 3D apocalyptic battlefield , and the finishing touches were provided by a lumbering Titan and flying spacecraft.
Could our gaming tables stand up to such competition? The jury is out but we also have to deal with the present day Internet. Two years ago, I was reading a review of Imperial Eagles, a Napoleonic ruleset from Spain. Unfortunately for the author, he reacted on The Miniatures Page trolls. Dermot, the author of these fine rules, very much in the style of Lassalle, was crucified. He had planned to open his own thread on The miniatures Page and even this was a cause for derision. Dermot withdrew from TMP and the rules, in the UK at least, seem to have lost traction. But, they seem to be alive and well in Spain. I include the details of a forthcoming competition and ask you to give these rules a second look- if only to annoy TMP rules experts. Dermot is always open to questions and can be contacted through Campaign Games.
