I think there is much more flexibility with an approach such as yours and I think it’s a good example of where to start. Models are a good base to start with. Finding rules can be time consuming, but it matters more that you have a foundation which can help narrow down the where to look and that would be the models. I’m more interesting in the mechanics and story telling personally than anything else. Something about the process wakes something up in my brain. That being said, I’m open to a wide variety of models, but the ruleset can be anything that allows me to explore in a more ‘open world’ sort of way. I tend to combine a few different systems and glue them together depending on what I’m exploring.

I guess one thing that I definitely did not account for during the "Army Building Process" is what happens if rules or mechanics inspire you. It makes the entire system circular. lol I am right there with you when it comes to highly specific rulesets being making it challenging to tell the story you want. Particularly if it is an otherwise fun and engaging system. I think that was really my only problem with the game Bushido. All of their factions and rules were so specific to their world when I really just wanted to use their system for a more quasi-historical samurai game.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Stu Hobley Thank you. It's uncreatively named "Wargame Rules 1950-2000" it's hard to find, unfortunately, but there are a few copies on eBay every now and then. I really like it. I originally did a little review of it in this video, but I had to cut it for length. If that doesn't cover the time period you want they also made "Wargame Rules: Armour and Infantry 1925-1950."
