9 persons have something to say about this!:
WOO HOO! I made WiG again, twice!
Man I am going to have to up my game a bit to keep this up. The pressure....
Though soon I want to start putting out some Doctor Who material too, so I am sure you will enjoy that.
Excellent news, Tim!

No problem, guys. Always a pleasure to help a fellow blogger ;)
I'm a bit baffled by Showdown, since Savage Worlds scales up to mass combat quite readily as is; indeed, I believe it was designed as such!
Savage Worlds is indeed descended from Great Rail Wars (IIRC), the Deadlands mass combat game, so I guess Showdown is their way of demonstrating that it can scale back up - and adding a few tweaks (for those who need them).
thanks for the shout out!
No problem - credit where it's due ;)
