Ray Johnson and his group brought Der Kriegspieler Napoleonics and his rules, "Frappe". In retrospect they were preposterously complex, but at the time I thought I had gone straight to heaven. As you said, I was hooked; until then it had never occurred to me I could use my Airfix figures in a game. (Imagination has never been my strong suit). There were no local stores that stocked Airfix, however, so I started ordering vast numbers of Revolutionary War soldiers from the backs of comic books. I came to learn later just how bad they were--they were not the rather nice flats sold earlier, but instead the barbarous soft plastic versions--so I never did anything with them. I later sold them to Wally Simon, and much later they made it to the HAWKS, who used them for the first Kids Project several years ago. Small world, eh?<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091296131481416326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-658354664336649664.post-37859768029090937782015-08-08T08:08:38.584-04:002015-08-08T08:08:38.584-04:00I remember RRTF - I think I played it in the 1990s...I remember RRTF - I think I played it in the 1990s before my group switched to Johnny Reb. It was as you say a good set of rules.<br />Duke Seifred is an interesting figure in the hobby. I have his Napoleonics rules.<br />Always fun to see how other gamers got going.<br />Cheers,<br />MMad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.com
