Title: Improved History Notes in List Sets
Post by: lionheartrjc on November 30, 2023, 11:35:32 AM
I have updated list set 54 (Kings of the North) in the draft list sets to include improved history notes.  I hope over then next two years to extend these to other list sets.

This is a really encouraging development, but Richard this is a HUGE task you are taking on. Might you not wish for a few brave but foolhardy volunteers to join a committee to help? I don't value my skills as a historian highly enough to volunteer to re-write the notes, but I could perhaps be of some use carrying out some drudgery finding historical references to help those wiser than myself.

If anyone wants to produce equivalent information for specific army lists I would very much welcome assistance.  Can be a single army list.  Simplest way is to supply as a two column table, one for rulers, one for campaigns and battles.  Just let me know what list or lists you would plan to tackle (so I can coordinate).  As you point out, it is a huge task, but I think it would prove a valuable resource.  The way to eat the elephant is with single bites! 

Might be worth setting up a separate discussion area.  I am asking for "Historical Enemies" section to be renamed "Historical Notes".
