I played them last in November after a long hiatus and found that I liked them more than I recalled. Advanced Song of Blades and Heroes has some new twists that make the game a bit livelier, e.g., reaction.<br /><br />Apart from that, Dragon Rampant is appealing. With fantasy gaming, you have a lot more options for creating reduced- or single-model units. That keeps the figure count down. My Dragon Rampant warband is just 31 figures.David Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06229259148925201182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-45817791879490310612018-01-05T19:23:00.966+00:002018-01-05T19:23:00.966+00:00It's mostly been said but "small number&...It's mostly been said but "small number" of figures is very relative. One man's 6 is another man's 60.<br /><br />Hordes of the Things still gives a good game and dependin on the army udusl less than 50 figures counting cavalry as 2 and special characters as 4.<br /><br />Dragon Rampant has been mentioned and so has Bob's Portable Wargame. I'm out of my league with simple 1 figure is 1 man but did have some very enjoyable Dark Age skirmishes with the Warhammer Skirmish rules. I downloaded them from the 15 years ago. No idea where to get them now.

Bob's Portable Wargame also seems like a viable option. Those are both more like unit-level battles or skirmishes.<br /><br />For more individual level games I have been enjoying Pulp Alley - in spite of the name it can be used for all sorts of genres. One of the supplemental rule books has suggestions for playing various genres with just a few simple rules modifications. The basic rules are simple and fun; there is a deck of cards for playing vs. an opponent and another deck for playing solo.Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-69647454308393466712018-01-04T20:46:56.001+00:002018-01-04T20:46:56.001+00:00LotR strategy battle game?
