I’ve been reading some rules recently-
I bought the ones on the right years ago and found them interesting. I based up my Renaissance Irish on 60mm bases for them and had some solo games that were full of fun , not to mention period flavour. In a moment of madness l rebased the army in DBR style bases to conform to my regular opponents forces. Needless to say they have not been out of the box since. Memo to self, take a deep breath before rebasing.
The rules on the left are an extension or rather a new set , with similar mechanisms,altogether for fantasy, medieval and ancients. They are interesting rules especially the way they define troops. Well worth getting hold of . The author reminds us rebasing is not necessary to play and any consistent basing will work. Well worth a look be your interests Sassanids or Saurians or everything in between.
We are about to get back to regular face to face wargaming with my two opponents here hopefully soon. I’ve been looking for a wee divertissement for playing here on my dining room table involving simple rules , small area , minimal forces and maximum fun. I am considering these-
I have the ones on the right but never played them. They read well and l fancy giving them a go , perhaps even solo. I have watched videos , both reviews and games.I will probably use my VBCW figures. The book on the left l have ordered and l await its arrival with interest. As to troops , we will see, probably fifteenth century or Bronze Age.
Finally l am just not getting into series 2 of “ The Rings of Power” at all. Not entirely sure why but not vibing it. Thoughts?
