Genom

One of the best games out there in my opinion despite where it came from and the fact they ditched it!

We're just coming to the end of a campaign for this in our group, one more game to go next month and we'll see who is victorious.

Great game and funnily enough I saw my old warbands this morning whilst tidying some stuff up.

Sure you could pick them up on ebay but these seem to be what a lot of people are starting to use now

If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

So many of their best games ditched in favour of some pretty dire stuff, essentially still stuck in the 70s. Funny that WAB died a death amongst historical gamers. (In Britain we call this sarcasm, ie not surprising at all!

I dunno, it seemed to do alright - made fourteen years worth of print and support?! Although it never hit the competition treadmill, I s'pose. I suspect its death had more to do with GW marketing than with player base. That said, it's not really my cup of tea, and definitely isn't now!

I found it weird having to take kicking horses into account in a melee. It seemed to be going back to the 70s/80s thing of having far too many variables so that wargaming essentially became a number crunching exercise. If I hadn't enjoyed the painting and collecting side of the hobby I would probably have jacked it in in the early 80s.
