We have a cover!
The first draft proofs of Écorcheurs! - my medieval wargames rules - have arrived, and I am working my way through them this weekend.
There's a way to go yet, but the cover is brilliant and unlikely to change.

Great thread!
Thinking about introducing the phrase 'second-classedness' in my book project to capture the idea that some systems (Hellenistic) emphasize the degree of inequality in their armies while other systems (Roman) aggressive de-emphasize it.
Thoughts? Too informal a term?

Huge kudos to Dr. Jones.
Somehow, he is able to walk through all of this (well, 99%) for more than an hour without being at all emotive.

On Tuesday, I tuned in to listen to Dr Rob Jones deliver a highly perceptive online lecture on the perils and pitfalls of medieval wargaming. It’s well worth 90 minutes of your time if you’re interested! #wargaming #medieval #miniatures #historianinharness youtu.be/F_UIRw9GddA?...
