Hi Club Members

My name is Mike Hayes and this is to give you some advance news. This autumn I am bringing out a new edition of a board game I invented in 1974. First known as The Wargame (red box) then as Warlord (blue box). It was then taken over by Games Workshop and produced as Apocalypse.

Warlord has always been a game of skill never chance. Players bluff, counter bluff, anticipate, deceive, manipulate, mislead, support, trick and betray. The essence of the game remains the same. But changes to the design of the board and to some of the rules mean that this version is even better than the original.

I am producing 500 copies of ''Classic Warlord' with what will be the final version of the Rules of the original game. This limited edition is a quality product. No expense has been spared in the design of the board and the assembly of parts. I hope to keep the price at £60 (plus postage and packaging) but it may have to go up to £70 because of spiralling costs.

If you want to reserve a game and place an order, please contact me at m.hayes@sheffield.ac.uk

Might be of interest to some - I know people still play the original occasionally.

Seems a bit pricey to me. And he doesn't seem to have a website where you can find out what the quality's like.

I sent him one as well.

Asked if he was going to set up a website where people could see what they were actually going to get.
