[jchaos79]

Hi folks the traditional 4 control questions to take the temperature of the people games but this year I had include one more question

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - Warmaster ancient
2) What armies were confronted? - Poseidon fishmen army (experimental fun army) vs Classic Greek
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - Yes indeed
4) and... was the first time do you use the ruleset? - Nop I've been playing for years
5) How many players were in the game? - Solo game, 1 player

[SerialLoser]

1) Black Powder with Napoleonic Mods
2)Chilean Royalists v Army of the Andes
3)yep, made up anything i didn't like
4)off and on for a couple of years
5) solo, with "help" from a fascinated 4 year old (who seems to like moving trees rather than batallions  )

[Leman]

1. Black Powder SYW

2. Austrians v Prussians

3. Not 100% comfortable with them as I think the Prussians have been made too strong. Frederick was reduced to a permanent 10 leadership. To be honest I think some of the Austrian troops could have more whistles and bells.

4. No not the first time. Have used them for SYW since the C18th supplement was published, but likely to give Field of Battle 2 a go with these armies.

5. The game was played with two players.

[Werthor]

) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - WAB 2
2) What armies were confronted? - romans vs macedonians
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - mmmmm, not my choice ruleset for ancient wargaming: apart from manouvre complaints, i really miss command and fatigue aspects of ancient wargame. the romans seems overpowered too.
4) and... was the first time do you use the ruleset? - No
5) How many players were in the game? - 4 players

[Luddite]

Aye, WAB is...uh...

Not to my taste really. 

*Rolls dice bucket*

OK, that unit's off the table, and so are those three.

I want my toys on the field for as long as possible!     They might be running away but they're still on the field looking pretty...

Well said, it is one of the few times, when playing, that you get to see the front of them

2)  - 1809 Austrian and French
3)  - Yes
4)  - No, been using them for a long time now
5)  - Two

[Hertsblue]

1. FoW

2. German (Kampfgruppe Peiper to be exact) v. US Infantry at Bastogne.

5. Five plus an umpire.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

1) Hail Ceaser

2) WOTR

5) 2

5. Me and a friend

[Leman]

1. Commands and Colours Napoleonics

2. Austria v. France

3. Very quickly got into the way the rules work.

4. This was the first time I'd played this game - more like a wargame in a box. Only the third Napoleonic game I've played in my life, and the most enjoyable. Next time Wagram.

5. Two player game.

[getagrip]

Here you go:

1) Warmaster fantasy
2) Vampire Counts (my all time favourite) VS Chaos
3) Totally
4) Played for years
5) 2 players

[nikharwood]

1 - Maurice
2 - SYW Prussians v Austrians (2mm)
3 - Yes (have fallen back in love with it)
4 - Nope
5 - Two, one observer & me 'helping'

[Nosher]

1. Bolt Action
2. US v german
3. Yes
4. Played loads of games of Bolt Action. Perfect for solo play and hollywood-esque. The close combat rules are sh*te, but I've modified them to suit my own preferences
5. solo. If I were playing an opponent Bolt Action would be shelved for Chain of Command

[Bodvoc]

Sword and Spear
Greeks v. Persians
A great set of rules, really makes you think.

4 players with me umpiring.

Field of Battle 2

Seven Years War Austrian v. Prussian

The prep took longer than anticipated, but that included a dice generate battlefield from the old Age of Reason Campaign in Bohemia book. Once we had set up and got to turning cards the game began to flow smoothly, although my opponent kept forgetting to nsubtract lost Army Points.

I've used FOB2 before, although only a couple of times. Many years ago I used to play original Piquet, which often became a tedious grind. FOB2 is a massive improvement.

This was a two player game.

[Nosher]

this Friday night will be my first game of the year.

1. Muskets and Tomahawks
2. British v French and/or Woodlands Indians
3. I have only looked at the rules and browsed - more info after Friday!
4. Yes!
5. Me and a friend

This is a really great game and would work well in 10mm with the Pendraken ranges.

Very intuitive game that keeps you thinking due to the card driven activation system. i can see this becoming a staple diet of games for a while. It would even work solo in my opinion.

I need to rebase some old 15mm AWI I have had kicking around for years. Once thats done I will post a batrep, either of a solo game or a game at the club whichever comes first. I will try to include an overview of the game

recommended!!
