Not a good night to be a wizard!

[sunjester]

Mark and I played a couple of games of Frostgrave at club last week, my Necromancer and his orcs against the diminutive hobbit warband, which turned out to be a bit of a bloodbath for the magic users.

Thank you gents.

ianrs54 - give it a go, Frostgrave's a lot of fun with the right players. It's strength is playing it as a campaign and progressing your wizard and warband, rather than playing one-off games.

That sounds a cracking couple of games - I do like Frostgrave

Enjoyable reports.

Must admit though, I bought the Frostgrave rulebook with some my xmas Amazon vouchers, but reading it through just makes me want to dig out my Mordheim books.

Cheers, M.

ITs a different flavour of game to Mordheim. You only really care about the two lead characters - everyone else is a disposable mook, if push comes to shove

IMO it's a better game, partly for that and partly because it plays so well with so little faff either on table or in the campaign.

Your mileage may vary

If I was writing it I would have used three d6 instead of a single d20 - bring things to the "average" more reliably, but the big swingy dice is very much a part of the fun tbh

Only played a couple of games of Frostgrave against Bodvoc and it is an enjoyable game. First thoughts were that I wished that all models earned XP, but on reflection - like toxicpixie says - having such only creates more book keeping and faffing about, so now I'm not so sure. I played Necromunda, but not Mordheim, so don't know how they compare.
