This is an expansion for TooFatLardies’ World War II game Chain of Command, providing players with the material to change their games’ setting from the Second World War to the Falklands Conflict in 1982.

mOBIUS (2019-ONGOING)

Mobius is a fan-made tabletop wargame based on Archie Comics’ 25-year run of Sonic the Hedgehog. This was intended as a “test run” for a hero-scale wargaming system but has continued as a personal passion project. It emphasises the use of Heroes through its familiar yet eccentric phase system, and introduces a layer of tactical depth by representing Fog of War with a ‘Blip’ mechanic.

Work on Mobius continues to this day, with more than ten factions available to play and the game’s Third Edition nearing its release.

Turn Sequence: an exploration of turn order mechanics within turn-based tabletop and computer strategy games (2018-19) - Dissertation

For my dissertation, I decided to explore Turn-Based games, and how changing the method in which turns are sequenced can dramatically alter the players’ experience of an otherwise identical game. I did this by writing a tabletop wargame specifically for the occasion named WITS (or Wargame with Interchangable Turn Systems), which has seven different methods to choose from, and focus testing these seven methods with a third party of experienced wargamers.

This brief dissertation, which features the rules for WITS in its Appendix, can be downloaded below:

A Cruel Necessity: Sharp Practice in the English Civil War (2017)

A Cruel Necessity is an expansion for the TooFatLardies tabletop wargame Sharp Practice. While Sharp Practice normally represents 18-19th century combat, this expansion contained rules changes and new content to represent skirmishes during the English Civil War. It features new rules for Pikes, Matchlock weapons, and Irregular Dragoons, among other differences, as well a total of 21 new units to represent Royalist, Parliametarian, and Trained Bands forces of the period.

This expansion was published as part of the TooFatLardies’ 2017 Christmas Special, which can be purchased following the following link:
