1) What ruleset did you use in your last game? – Ronin
2) What armies were fighting? - Sohei vs Sohei
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? – Bit rusty but I got there
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? – No
5) How many players were in the game? – Two
6) What went well? – Teaching my son the rules ... and pretty much everything he did thereafter!
7) What could have been improved? - I could have won one initiative roll, that would have been nice :) He chose the order of things in every turn and struck first in every combat.

I bought a pile of "Ninja All Stars" chibi ninja second hand because I liked the sound of the game and also liked the figures but the combat rules were awful (IMHO) so I switched to "Ronin" instead. We stat the ninja as factions from the rules, not ninja.

Couple of pictures of the action. Translucent skulls are light wounds, cream skulls are serious wounds, white tokens are stun and red tokens are dead body markers.
There are 100 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who can work from incomplete data

ronan

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? – Honours of War
2) What armies were confronted? – 1759 Austria vs Prussia,  (Zinna, a scenario from the forum HoW)
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? – yes.
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? – No
5) How many players were in the game? – 2
6) What went well? – The game was fine.
7) What could have been improved - A very tough scenario for the austrians. I should have rotate the map 90° on the side to gain more space.
