Dove (sono sicuro) si gioca a DSLB

Dopo 2 anni dall'uscita di Drums & Shakos Large Battles, ed alla vigilia del Supplemento che sto completando (vedi post precedenti) ho deciso di compilare un elenco di città dove so che DSLB è giocato e di chiedere a voi lettori di integrarla tramite i commenti. Magari - chissà - qualcuno di voi potrebbe trovare un gruppo a poca distanza....
Bene, so per certo che ci sono giocatori di DSLB a:
Arezzo
Terni (ma và...)
Roma
Firenze
Vignola
Gaeta
Cisterna di Latina
Bassano del Grappa
Brescia
Canino (VT)
Forlì
Milano
Modena
Como

Aggiunta anche Modena.
Fatevi sentire tramite i commenti!!!  Grazie a tutti


Two years after the release of DSLB, I would like to compile a list of Italian cities where I know for sure DSLB is played in order to facilitate players to find opponents. I am also asking readers of this blog to add other places using the blog's comments....

The Poll is closed

Thanks to all readers (32) who voted.

The poll shows without any doubt that a playing time from 1.5 to 3 hours is what the readers of this blog prefer (68%).
15% can play up to 4 hours and just 12% more than that.
1 voter have very limited time (1 hour).

Therefore, for my Large Battle game I think we are exactly on target (2,5 to 3 hours).
I am happy about this also because I launched a thread on TMP asking more or less the same question. It came out that many players (mostly American) have few opportunities to play, but when they do they prefer to play for 4-5 hours and they have space enough also to leave a battle for a following session.
Any comments are welcome...

A new poll!

Well, I've been thinking about a new poll for some weeks now, and here it is.
I kindly ask all of you to vote, as it is very important for me to know.
This poll will be about playing time. In other words, how much does a single of your gaming sessions last.
To vote, scroll this page till the end ...

Please give me your feedback!

Second poll closed

We have the results of the second poll, and even if the percentages are quite split, they show you want (more) ready made squads and some Scenarios (both at 9%). I have my homework to do :)
As I wrote answering a couple of comments, I did not allow multiple answers as I really wanted you to specify what you'd like to see MORE in this blog, and you guys gave your response.
Thank you.

New poll launched

It's at the bottom of the blog... let me have your opinions so that I can trim my posts according to what you prefer :)
Thank you for voting!

First poll closed

OK we have the results of the first poll. The question was about the "next" historical game level you'd like to see published by Ganesha, and the possible answers were:
- Company Level (each player has a company, i.e. about 40-50 individual soldiers)
- Brigade Level (you play with a Brigade made of several Battalions)
- Division Level (you play with a Division made of 2-5 Brigades)
- Corps Level (you play with a Corps made of 2-4 Divisions)

The results are quite straightforward: Company 50%, Brigade 20%, Division 14%, Corps 15%.
Half of you would like the next historical Ganesha game to be a Company level game. Being SDS a pure skirmish game with few soldiers, this is not surprising: jumping to Brigade, Division, or Corps level requires a totally different approach, from the scale used (probably smaller then 28mm for the quantity of miniatures needed) to miniatures basing. Going up the game levels, some details are lost, while more complexity is added to the Command and Control rules, formations and the like. Indeed, you can't play a Corps level game with few miniatures... :)
However, what we are committed to design is a game system that - given a common set of core rules - will allow you to play anything from SDS to Leipzig... and we are nearer than you could expect to do it :-)

Poll and Tournament rules

My first Poll is about to expire (you can still vote for few hours) and I must say it gave a strong input from this blog's readers. I'll post my considerations here as soon as it is over :)

As you maybe know, the first SDS Tournament was organized in Pau (France) last year and another one will be organized next april (if I remember correctly). As I am receiving more and more requests from Italy (2 tourneys are planned for next spring), I decided to write down a brief document with tournament rules. Just slight changes from one-off games, and a *less random* table set up procedure.
More about this when the doc is ready.

Wow!

Almost 100 votes for the poll in less than 48 hours. This is a great - and quite unexpected - result...
Thank you guys for your participation and... let me have your comments also.

First poll launched!

Look at the bottom of the page: my first poll is about the "next" game level you would like to play.
Let me hear your voice, and vote! :))
