It’s the nature of the rules, because so many people use the rules on comparatively small screens or on Kindle, I have to be careful about tables. What works in print, or on a pdf you see on a big tablet, doesn’t work well on a kindle or on a phone
Given that when the rules were written the phones were had big dials and were fixed to the wall, I confess it isn’t a problem I considered when writing them

You tease…. 😂
I am sure they will be a success as Hellfire. I do get what you mean regarding tables and devices.
Phones fixed to the wall with big dials. Now that takes me back!
Keep up the good work Jim.Tally-Ho! Check out my blog at…..

So I’m eagerly looking forward to Jim’s promised project!
(As an aside, I clearly remember when we were cleaning out my father-in-law’s basement a few years back and came across an old rotary phone. The puzzled/amazed/confused expression on my (at the time) teenaged son’s face was priceless as he struggled to figure out what the device was).
06/12/2021 at 11:44 #165663Jim WebsterParticipantAs somebody who will go off to places not carrying my phone (which because of our poor signal acts more as a watch and a camera and is pay as you go so doesn’t do data) over 98% of my phone calls still take place on the landline. But we don’t alas, have a rotary phone
Some years ago my daughter acquired one of those phones where the mouthpiece is fixed to the wall and the ear piece is a separate thing you hold to your ear and you had to wind a handle to produce the electricity to call the exchange
She discovered there is a company which produces a small electronics package you fit into them and it means you can use them with a modern landline 🙂https://jimssfnovelsandwargamerules.wordpress.com/

Please share that link. That sounds like my perfect phone.

Afraid I never had the link, it was about ten years ago she mentioned it, I don’t know if she ever followed up on it as she divorced etc not long after
