Stand To - Shildon - 2016: Can I Ask For Some Input/Feedback On Game Ideas

[paulr]

Rules: With the above I reckon that I've got the basics covered. Though I may tinker with them and try and introduce 'chance' cards for players to use to their advantage/their opponents disadvantage.

Good progress

I would suggest keeping the rules as simple as possible, new comers will have plenty to take in as it is (note I haven't read the suggested rules as yet)

[Roy]

That is a good point.

For (club)games I would reckon that random chance cards are something that I'd want to introduce. But, as you say, if the game is played as a participation or with new players the rules should be kept as they are written.

The rules are three pages (A4 size) long. I reckon after a quick game (30mins) players should have got the hang of them and be able/ready to play again.

I'll have to sort out a proper thread when I get going, but for now I'll just post here.

Bought in the figures and made a start on purchasing the terrain. At the moment I'm just putting together the basic layout, and playing about with the design while nothing is fixed down.

The MDF buildings/walls are Warbases and the 30x30 MDF bases Minibits. When its all finished it will be housed on a 2'x2' board, also featuring an area of grass/trees/plants etc in front of the gate area.





For those interested, here's the links to the blog posts with more of my waffling

Good start chap!

[Roy]

Thank you. Started gluing it all down onto its board, so the buildings and walls are all now plumb and square, those flagstones neat and tidy in bonded rows. Also, the gate and two walls butting up to it have been turned to face outside.
