Hablas Inglés? Te gusta el Ion Age?

Do you speak Spanish?  Do you love The Ion Age?

Well we have one big fan in Spain who does.  Slorm has posted a translation of this blog's page on The Prydian Army into his native Spanish.  If you want to visit him to read it then please do so and if you want to read it in English then go ahead.

One of the best things about wargaming is the sense of global community that it gives with players of many nations and languages happily reading, painting, playing the same games.  I have seen it done many times for Flintloque and for USEME as well.

1 Hour Play

 Last time I mentioned I would be looking at the game systems planned for The Ion Age and I am as usual true to my word!

This is a short posting to introduce to you the 1 Hour Play idea and what it means for us.  Those of you who know about the USEME series of titles from 15mm.co.uk will know that they use a very simple and robust D6 mechanic for skirmishes and battles across all kinds of genres and scales.  1 Hour Play is going to be an evolution of this but themed to The Ion Age and the conflicts going on there.

We have top secret plans for several titles in the series and each will be available in both a printed format and also a purpose designed download format.  The mechanic of the game engine will be an eight sided dice and of course the titles will keep to the releases made in the 15mm Ion Age range primarily.

So a full paced and fun wargame in one hour or less.  That is the goal.  I will be writing the majority of the content for 1 Hour Play as I did with USEME.

Expect to hear more soon enough about the first title in the series...Patrol Angis.
