I also get less done over the summer months too so I know the feeling well! As someone with two small children there is always something else to be done (days out, trips to the park etc.) and the garden to be tended to. At best over the summer I try to get models primed ready for the winter. Winter is for us wargames we can bunker down then and get things painted 😂

Nice to see! I don't normally get the magazine but I almost picked up one of those issues that came with the sample sprue just to try them out as well. Definitely feels like the effort required varies a lot, some armies only need a few speed/contrast paints dropped on in the right sorta spots but others need actual attention.

Hi! I'm just getting into wargaming and am most interested in Lion Rampant. Do you have any suggestions for starting to collect models, for LR and in general? Thank you!
@wargameshobbyАй бұрын
I decided to put together both sides, it's easier to find opponents if you can supply both sides and terrain if possible. Then I added other forces that can fight the first two. As I recently holidayed in Sicily, I used Sicily as a base around the time Harald Hardrada was there, so have made up, Varangians, Normans, Byzantines, Arabs and local Sicilians. It makes a nice variety. :)

@nirnman3 ай бұрын
great game, though I must disagree with your idea of battered units dropping their loot. Battered means you have to pull back disorganised. this means they can only fight back for their attack value of D6. I'm not sure if it is in this rule book or one of the supplements but a battered unit should only lose its "loot" if it is wiped out.
@wargameshobby3 ай бұрын
Yes, that is correct, loot is not dropped, and I accept what you say, but it just means a retreating unit gains by falling back which means it is very hard for a chasing force to ever catch up. So it becomes a game of the first side to find the high value loot will always win, which seems too easy, and lucky. I would much rather a unit has to take into account it could drop the loot and so has to fight to get it back, much more fun. But as I say, I accept your view on this. :)

Retreating when close to the board edge - should the unit that was at the board edge have retreated off the board?
@wargameshobby3 ай бұрын
I try to be flexible with that. Generally, units retreat directly away from the threat, or unit it is fighting, but I always give the benefit of doubt to the withdrawing unit. If you mean the knights falling back from the second combat against the elite foot, as the foot came into contact along the table edge, I feel the retreating knights were able to fall back along the table edge. Had they been hit by the first unit again, from the hill area, I think they would have gone off the table. But as I said earlier, I am very flexible with that rule. 😊

I will try a game using that idea, as I had thought it should work myself, but I would add a house rule of regimental (three units) moving on one activation. I think it will work, but there is only one way to find out. :) I will try soon
