(...) Heh- a large part of the reason that I made an airship instead of a sailing ship was that I don't have any sails. Actually that's not quite true- I do have a "ripped" pirate sail from one set, but it wasn't really appropriate). I had (...) (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Everyone has their own limits for what they feel is pure. And most of us don't try to shove our personal definitions down others' throats. That said... I wouldn't mend a Lego sail that way. I'd have to poke holes in the sail to do that, and (...) (23 years ago, 13-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

Hello everyone, I've started out on writing some rules for a naval combat game set in a castle style era. I had about four pages but was a nimrod and forgot to save and then the program crashed and I lost all my work. :( Anyways I suppose I should (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) The commonly accepted date for the European adoption of cannon is 1327, when one appears (IIRC) on the Bayeux Tapestry as sort of a modified ballista (it's firing a giant arrowhead). But that's an indication that, by then, cannon had diffused (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Correction--oops. Bayeux Tapestry is the depiction of the Battle of Hastings. I'm thinking of another tapestry, but the date is right (1324, 1326, and 1327 are the ones given). I hate making misteaks like that. best LFB (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.castle)
