I am working on a series of wargames under the title "Conflict in a Nutshell" I currently plan six games depicting battles from the Thirty Years War (1618-1648).
Specifically there will be three booklets consisting of 8-10 pages of background history, rules and one scenario. There will be three add-on scenarios with a very short description of the individual battle (1 or 2 paes) and the battle.
When I finish the Thirty Years War, I plan to work my way through American history (French and Indian/Seven Years war, American Revolution, War of 1812, American Civil War, Spanish-American war, maybe some of the conflicts in Texas and/or California.)
"Conflict in a Nutshell" is designed for beginning wargamers. The rules are simple, play is fast. The average play time is 30 minutes.
You can see that I need playtesters long term. I hope to publish the Thirty Years War scenarios beginning within the next year.
What I need is a group of playtesters to help balance the scenarios. I will supply maps, counters and scenario in PDF format and using either Vassal or CyberBoard for online/PBEM testing.
If you are interested, please contact me at mdesanto@enter.net.
Thank you all for your help.
