I don't mind tinkering around from a starting point but I just don't have the time at the moment to do it from scratch so any help would be much appreciated.

It comes with a default set of definitions which with a bit of mucking about with you can get to look like mine - give me a shout if your interested, though and I'll upload my definitions files so you can save a bit of time...<BR/><BR/>..because I am a geek at heart I didn't see this as "wasting time" - you could probably do it just as quicker and easier with a spreadsheet!! :o))Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-84437492472359939372008-11-10T23:05:00.000+00:002008-11-10T23:05:00.000+00:00Hi Steve,Any pointers on using the point motivator...Hi Steve,<BR/><BR/>Any pointers on using the point motivator software? How easy was it to set up for your use?

Johns is best when he has Biggles in the air - on the ground I found him slightly grating (21st C. ear I'm afraid). I also suspect that Biggles may be a borderline psychopath given his ability to descend into a towering rage at the very slightest provocation! :o)) Good fun, no requirement to go back for more...... <BR/><BR/>Stryker - I always preferred Buckeridges 'Rex Milligan' character to Jennings (though I think I probably read all of the Jennings books as well) - remember him??<BR/><BR/>Legatus - you definitely need a new blog - and it'll go on my list of places to visit as that sounds an interesting little project...Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-31323938577593748192008-11-06T11:18:00.000+00:002008-11-06T11:18:00.000+00:00Despite the temptations of Johnny come lately rule...Despite the temptations of Johnny come lately rules like General de BI am going to fielding my Perry Plastics using Charles Grant's Napoleonic wargaming rules!legatus hedliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078980742683576345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33041938.post-43153479345539295002008-11-05T19:58:00.000+00:002008-11-05T19:58:00.000+00:00Steve - I thought Biggles would have been silently...Steve - I thought Biggles would have been silently removed from the shelves as being a bit un-PC (remember "Biggles flies undone"?).

It sounds as if I would re-read as much as I do the Wargame and VFS battle descriptions/campaigns. I got my copy of the Wargame sold off by the local library for 20p a few years ago. Sorry...had to mention that :-). Where did you get the Wargames Companion - I am having trouble tracking it down.<BR/>Regards<BR/>JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
