Reader Mail Bag 1

The first round of our Reader Mail Bag. 

If you want your questions answered, please fill out the form at https://forms.gle/zfKgkUneQ3kiufPQ7 and I will answer each weekend:

Note that questions may be paraphrased or shortened a little bit.

Just wondering if you still get mail at the iCloud address.

Yes, I do! Unfortunately i am bad at email so I often end up losing an email that gets lost between a bunch of other things, but I try to go back and catch up on things. 

If you have the old Gmail address you can use that too, but I am trying to phase that out.

Who's your favorite Doctor?

That is really difficult. I am one of the newcomers who got on board with the new show, so Eccleston will always be my Doctor. For the classic show, probably First or Third. 

Is there a way for me to obtain a PDF copy of <Five Leagues From the Borderlands>?

Yes, if you contact Modiphius customer service with where you bought the book, they should be able to hook you up with a PDF copy. 

Are modern/ultra-modern games, like some sort of "Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare" style of miniatures game in plans for the future?

Let's call this one unlikely, mostly due to me not really playing much past WW2. Though our Cold War "No End in Sight" rules will handle it fine. 

How do close assaults actually work in No End in Sight?

Yes, that section could use a bit more clarity. Something for the next edition!

The attacker fires (and fights any hand to hand) as explained in the section. If there are surviving defenders, they are left in place. When that unit activates next, they are automatically in an assault and will fire as if they were the attackers with any figures within 3". 

In some cases you can have a unit be assaulted and take losses, leading to the target unit no longer being within 3" when it activates. In that case, they are free to do as they like.

This is not quite feeling exactly as it needs to, but for right now, it works fine.
