Empire(Dragon Men) vs High Elves

Nice looking game. Those sabots show that other basing conventions work just as well.

Belated wotcha and welcome. Just leave your sanity at the door and you'll be fine, honest.

Missed the fact that it was your first post...not a bad start at all.

Must say my only frustration with the game was the need to remember effects across phases such as casting Aspect of the Dragon during initiative phase 1, for it's fear effect of -1D6 in melee phase 5.  Or shooting with a " Powerful" weapon in phase 4 for-1D6 to  Protection roll in phase 6.
This does not spoil the game but is crying out for someone to create tokens for spells and effects.

Hi Runelord and welcome aboard.
I have played Warband several times now and find it easier to remember all the special effects now. I also typed out a brief list of all special rules for quick reference, that helped a lot.

Hi Bodvoc, Do you have a link to your list. To be honest we managed and I like the system, just thought tokens would be a nice touch without creating to much table clutter. A token as simple as " -1ML " for a reminder to allocate a -1die to that unit during the melee phase.

Though hopefully this post sows a few seeds to those more creative than I.

The main token i've found is needed is a 'direct charge' reminder.
