After many years without one (sadly all the previous cool discussions are lost) I’ve started a new forum. If you’re an Open Combat player (or just fancy finding out more) please join (and share). 🙂

It’s been a long time posting here. But Open Combat is now available in soft back on Amazon using the print on demand service so you should be able to get a copy ‘locally’ (depending on printing house location) whatever country you’re in!

So grab it now!

I’m going to be running a sale in November to promote Open Combat and see if I can attract some new #tabletopgames miniature game players with the last copies of the KS hardback before I move over to the Print on Demand approach.

👀 looks at last time I posted on Twitter.

(I thought I’d been a while off the radar recovering from various health events and surgeries but blimey!)

[Second Thunder - Open Combat Skimish Rules @second_thunder]

I’m going to be move to a PoD approach in the future. Not got the space to hold onto lots of stock ‘on hand’. But I do have about 300 of the original KS hardback books remaining with their fancy matt laminate and ‘spot’ gloss covers + two col endpapers.

@HallOfLegends Yes, it certainly wobbled me for a bit. But definitely on the way out the other side now. 🙂

It's been a very long time but I'm finally back in a position to make some noise again. Here's what's been going on... https://t.co/54j9eUYI8A

@WWargamers Yes, very much an out of left field experience. The neurologist said I was a complicated case as I had a lot things going on at the same time which made it tricky to pick apart and diagnose. We got lucky while I was hooked up to the EEG machine and they saw the wave pattern.

@geofftbond Cheers Geoff. Yes, it was a bit of a shock and I had a brief period of denial in a ‘it can’t be that’ way. But experiencing the difference of the medication even at it’s early low dosage as I wean up to the proper level has made it real.

[Second Thunder - Open Combat Skimish Rules @second_thunder]

@ThadrinBB Cheers Dave. It’s been quite a tough period, especially feeling like I’d lost the ability to think creatively due to it triggering things but it’s slowly coming back now. 🙂

@SilverBirchGame @UKGamesExpo Well done guys! I wanted to hunt you out to have a looksee but never got away from my stand.

[Second Thunder - Open Combat Skimish Rules @second_thunder]

Thanks to everyone that took the time to visit my stand at @UKGamesExpo it was fantastic to chat to familiar faces and introduce new players to Open Combat. Super pleased with the response to the launch of Lucrum too. I think that’s going to grow a lot over the next few months 🙂

[Second Thunder - Open Combat Skimish Rules @second_thunder]

Thanks to everyone for their support that dropped by the Second Thunder stand 1-1036 on Saturday (day two) of @UKGamesExpo Going into to day three! Be sure to check out Lucrum and a Open Combat before the show ends! 🙂

[Discourse Minis 👽 | Dungeons & Discourse 😈 @DiscourseMinis]

Only actual game I've picked up at #UKGE2022 so far is Open Combat from @second_thunder but tomorrow is the final day and I'm concerned I might go hog wild 😅

[Second Thunder - Open Combat Skimish Rules @second_thunder]

A little bit of information about Lucrum the two player strategy board game.

[Second Thunder - Open Combat Skimish Rules @second_thunder]

Day two @UKGamesExpo about to start. Lucrum strategy board game and Open Combat miniature skirmish game available at Stand 1-1036. Come and have a looksee!

[Second Thunder - Open Combat Skimish Rules @second_thunder]

@KeeperOfTheHDB Yes. All weekend! Hopefully see you today!

[Second Thunder - Open Combat Skimish Rules @second_thunder]

Thanks to everyone that visited me (stand 1-1036) at the #ukgamesexpo today. It was so busy I forgot to get any photos! It was great to introduce so many people to Open Combat and Lucrum. :)

My voice is already at super croaky level. 😅

[Second Thunder - Open Combat Skimish Rules @second_thunder]

@Arforchance It was a mad busy Friday. My voice was more battered than I expected at the end of the day.
