At Woking l was most taken with Battle Masters. I wasn’t really interested in the figures but wanted the mat and cards, dice and bits n bobs. I ordered them from eBay and they arrived-
I wanted to use the rules in a late 17th century context and with larger figures. Here is a scale comparison between a 28mm figure and a 60mm -
So I set up a game primarily to see the look of the thing and to have a wee play around with the rules-
That mat looks very nice indeed!
ReplyDeleteI was very pleased when I unpacked it.

Very nice AND very interesting. Looking forward to seeing how this, er, plays out.

I am pleased with the look and the rules ideas so far.
DeleteAlan Tradgardland.
Oh, most interesting and unexpected variation, I'd love to hear more of this
ReplyDeleteThanks. More info as I develop the game…

A lovely setup with you new items. Did you just set them up to take the photos, or did you play a game as well? Did the trees come with the set, or did you already have them? They fits the battle mat and your miniature very well. I guess you can use this for other hex games as well, PW for instance.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Thanks. The trees are mdf from the internet and painted some time ago. I set the thing up and played a bit. The mat will serve well with PW too .

Very interesting idea, I quite like the idea of Battle Masters having seen a few post on the Lead Adventure Forum but would have no thought to use them for historicals, look forward to seeing your results with this concept.
ReplyDeleteThanks,it is a fun system. Has lots of potential plus visual appeal.
DeleteAlan Tradgardland
Interesting, never heard of this before.
ReplyDeleteWell worth reading about on the interweb..

I had to look that one up. I'm not a fan of the mat but it presumably makes for a quick set up. I do like the figures on show. Is it a Swedish/Danish clash?
ReplyDeleteStephen
I can see the mat being a tad “Marmite “ so to speak. Figures are mainly Alexander’s Toy Soldiers, expensive supplemented with cheap ish Del Prado cavalry and plastic artillery. The clash is between Danish invaders, turncoat English against James I and his army in 1690 , a what if…

Looks brilliant with those ATS figures, did the system work well for an historical game?
ReplyDeleteThanks . ATS are lovely and their maker is a great guy to deal with. I commissioned the pikes for example.
DeleteAlan Tradgardland
Well done Alan! I sold off the original fanstasy figures that came with the game, as like you I wasn't a fan of them. I love your ATS figures amd must get some myself soon. Cheers, Anthony.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I look forward to seeing what you do with them.
DeleteAlan Tradgardland
Brilliant idea! Keep us posted as to how it goes and hope that you share the rules.
ReplyDeleteThanks, will do…
