Hi all,

I'm trying to get the word out for some rules I have written.

you may have seen my post in the "ancients" section too, but thought it would be appropriate to put something here too.

The rules are called empire & hordes and are written based on all the action occurring simultaneously rather than the usual "I go then you go" mechanic.

Pendraken have kindly given me permission to use this forum to let you know about them.

The rules are based around my collection of 10mm pendraken miniatures, but can be easily adapted for other scales or even counters.

The mechanics are based around the following principles:

1 - use D8's
2 - Order counters.
3 - you get to roll lots of dice, but only one role is requried to determine a result.
4 - card based fog of war system.
5 - casulties removed at the end of a phase so can still be used to attack.
6 - lots of death.
7 - simple is best.

so,

If anyone is interested in reading a set, I have a limited number to give away. send me a message.
