Scott Holder spoke with Phil Barker at Historicon 98. Phil told Scott that since he was no longer supporting WRG 7.x, (and was in fact looking for someone who might want to purchase the copyright) revisions and reasonable alterations in this set of rules for the better enjoyment of those still interested was fine by him. Scott has therefore created a draft revision of the rules tentatively called WRG 7.6 They are listed below. They will be playtested at Fall-In 98 in Gettysburg, and a final version will be created during the winter. Even if you do not go to Fall-In, you might want to play test these changes at home and tell Scott what you think.
