I enjoyed them immensely and I'm already trying to avoid buying a load of convenanters or highlanders to do a different period. Need to stay focussed!

I've used the rules for everything from Warhammer skirmishes to 19th century colonial games. Of course you need to make your own rules for non-humans and monsters in Warhammer, but it is relatively simple in most cases. Elves and Dwarves can simply be considered d8 or d10 troops, Ogres might be d12 and get saves on the Hero chart, Undead cause fear like the 'Ghouls' from the Cultist list. I actually have a fantasy variant, but it seemed like a good idea to hang onto it for a while with the juggernaut that is Frostgrave rampaging around (I like it too)!<br /><br />The Turn Over card can be devilish, but I enjoy the chaos it causes. As you pointed out, it is easy enough to leave it out for a more traditional turn sequence.<br /><br />I should point out at home I rarely use the point system, relying instead on designing scenarios. I included the points because I felt gamers were more comfortable with some sort of structure. The math works pretty well, but certain combos of special characters imbalance things. I generally don't play that way and figured any system I might design could be abused on purpose so I left it pretty simple.<br /><br />Anyway, great report and I'm looking forward to seeing more!quindiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14194306105013871853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-88590294133421050622016-06-07T11:19:37.642+01:002016-06-07T11:19:37.642+01:00Sounds like an interesting ruleset.

I got very lucky on the draw for initiative; poor Malc couldn't react to close with my troops as I shot him to pieces. With a different draw and 'reload' not being drawn so favourably, it would have been a very different game.antipixihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640762728933252342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298356674700006690.post-44879517033326080692016-06-06T15:53:55.048+01:002016-06-06T15:53:55.048+01:00Looks like a perfectly balanced buddy evening !Looks like a perfectly balanced buddy evening !Asslessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475252828835332056noreply@blogger.com
