Mons 1914: The Mad Minute is rolling along steadily.  Play sessions of Gallipoli 1915 (the first game in the Rifle and Spade series) are reported regularly on BoardGameGeek in the Gallipoli game entry. The draft of the 2.0 rules, plus the updated table and display for Gallipoli are available in Gallipoli’s files folder, which is also linked from the home page for Mons on gmtgames.com. If you are planning to play Gallipoli then please use the 2.0 rules. As always, I am available to answer questions on ConsimWorld and on BoardGameGeek.

Now that Mons is “in the can” ready for artwork I am concentrating on producing tutorial videos for the Rifle and Spade rules. My latest video explains objectives and routes of march for attack orders, using examples from Anzac Cove in Gallipoli. See https://youtu.be/DXskF5_gRKI or below:

I intend to follow up with a video on defense orders, this time using Mons as an example.

I will be at ConsimWorld expo in Tempe, Arizona in August. I will be hosting a game of Mons, probably the Hypothetical Meeting Engagement scenario where both sides gradually enter, led by their cavalry.
