You're never gonna have a game that perfectly recreates the battle you're simulating. Partially because the armies there didn't take turns shooting at each other. Mostly because everyone's decision-making is different, even slightly so, and, if your game has dice, so is every roll.

Standing Ready Games is returning to Colours this year! If you're coming, you can take part in a #PackingHeatGame Participation Game at Stand C25, and get your own copy of the rules at Stand B43! #wargames #nerdlings #Colours2026

Sorry I haven't had much in the way of updates for Pack of the Dead, I'm quite ill right now (I'm ok just very out of it), but I have a few things lined up for when I'm feeling better! #PackingHeatGame #wargames

My most boomer opinion is that people who talk loudly or use their phone in the cinema, during the film itself, should be banned. You paid £10-30 for 1-3 hours of entertainment and you're gonna ruin it for everyone because you're too brainrotted to actually watch it? Get out.
