This is a quick informative video about the ganeshagames products that use the Song of Blades and heroes engine, along with a battle report for a basic song of blades and heroes game so you get an idea of how it's played.

Thanks for the review. Definitely looking into this system to play small games with my kids and combine my LOTR, Age of Sigmar, and Stonehaven Miniatures. Could be a good excuse to pick up a few stray Reaper minis, too. I'd be interested to learn more about the Hammer and Forge Supplement. Also some interest in sci-fi, American Civil War, and French and Indian War. Really appreciated your clear review style.

Great video, and very informative. I’d love to see Ww2 rules you mentioned in the beginning of the video.

Will do, I've been putting them off because I wanted a suitable vehicle to display for that game. As of an hour or two ago I own some halftracks, so I plan to make a video for Flying Lead in the next few weeks.

Enjoyed the video. I like your kitchen table style. Have used the basic set after an introdution at club, also played a lot with the French Indian set. It felt good to see a column of indians thread though the woods in a group activation. I have a gothic set somewhere. Also have the sci fi set, if I remember correctly there is a random character construction feature at the start, I enjoyed rolling up a gang but then had no figures suitable so never had a game. Nice idea but rather goes against the use what you have ethos.

Interesting system for kitchen top gaming. I might have to look into this system. Due to my situation, I have had to turn away from RPG's, and large scale miniature battle games. I have turned to smaller skirmish games with solo potentials like Frostgrave, Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago, and Rangers of Shadow Deep (skirmish w/RPG elements), and more recently Oathmark (rank and flank). These all play on 2' x 2', 3' x 3', and in the case of Oathmark 4' x 4'

The Frostgrave family of games is fantastic. I just bought Silver Bayonet and it has its own Rangers of Shadowdeep style solo campaign built in. How do you like Oathmark? I haven’t given it a chance yet.

I have been lax. I plan to do a video for Flying Lead in the near future. Then I am going to do a small batrep for a game I did a while ago with my 3mm miniatures.

So..what about those reactions your opponent gets to do before your guys get a chance to do anything when you fail a die roll?

@scojo6373 4 жыл бұрын

What game is that on the right in your ending screen? And are those miniatures or small blocks to represent soldiers?

@MrLigonater 4 жыл бұрын

the game I use that for is Drums and Shakos: large battles. It's the same system as song of blades and heroes for Napoleonic warfare at division or corps level. I use 2mm miniatures from Irregular miniatures, though the rules support any scale.

What would you say the maximum size you could use for a battle before the game gets bogged down?

@MrLigonater 5 жыл бұрын

If you are doing only 1 war band per player (which is how it us meant to be played) I do not recommend going beyond 500 points. (300 points usually ends up being 7-12 models, but could be 15 or more for horde type armies) The author tested the game with 1000 points and he said it worked, it simply wasn't ideal. If you want to use this game with larger armies I recommend each player building 2-3 300-500 point warbands, using the normal rules. The player that goes first will activate within their first warband until they loose the initiative or complete their turn, and play will flip between the two players (or two sides) until each warband has had a chance to activate their all of their warbands. Then the turn ends. This is based on the mechanic used in Drums and Shakos: Large Battles, to activate brigades within a division. (another ruleset published by this same company)
