Hi. Has anyone seen/used these rules? I saw them advertised as 2 booklets. One is the original format and the other is an "updated" version.
It talked about using them to play traditional toy soldiers, so I've ordered both copies. Don't know if I'll use them to play, but I like reading old sets of rules.
Best Wishes Dave

I have seen them and once participated in playing the scenario but using old 40mm toy soldiers from Britain's B Series and Scruby using a simple set of rules inspired by Joe Morschauser gameofmonth.blogspot.com Old Scrubies in ActionIf you haven't seen this Shambattle page by Phil Dutre yet, check out it out especially the illustrated game using flat wooden Foreign Legion and Arabs www.nirya.be/snv/shambattle/-Ross |

Hi Dave,
I went to the thortrains website but it said that Shambattle can only be ordered from within the US or Canada-how did you get yours?!
Cheers
Anthony

Hi Anthony,
I ordered directly from thortrains, so from the US. The prices for the books are on the site and it cost me $9 postage. It seemed the only way to get them, although I've a feeling I saw something about them on Amazon - but don't know if that's the English or US site.
Best Wishes Dave

Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply. I fear you will think I'm stupid but I went to the following website: www.thortrains.net/milihistriot/books.html and found the list of rules but no postage details for outside the US and Canada. The postage costs for Canada are 2.05 dollars per booklet and I can't see anywhere on the website that says postage to the UK or anywhere outside North America is $9. There is also a header at the top of the page that specifically says the rules can only be shipped within the US and Canada at present. Please help! Best wishes Anthony PS I came across the Thor Trains website many months ago but didn't order for the above reason. |

Just heard through Facebook that, sadly, Thor Shiel who sold Shambattle, etc has recently died due to complications after heart surgery...
