Strength and Honour Rules

[pierre the shy]

I am indeed lost!

As gamers aren't we all somewhat tempted by shiny new stuff Mike?   

Depends on your resistance level I guess 

[Ithoriel]

I have now had not one, not two, but three emails telling me my Strength and Honour order is complete.

My understanding was that those of us who pre-ordered the paper copy rulebook would also get a pdf copy but none of the three emails mention this and there is no instruction on where or how to acquire the pdf.

Have I misunderstood what was on offer?

[DecemDave]

Same here.  And with the "downloads" section totally blank.
I am assuming for today that this is a computer problem which I have noticed seems to occasionally (!!) afflict most modern companies these days. 
I would ring them up but expect I would get a recorded message saying that my call is important but they have no one to answer it owing to 500 impatient gamers all calling at the same time.

Has anyone written rules with names like "Blunder and Chaos"?  Possibly more militarily accurate anyway

There's an announcement on Facebook that things have gone "tits up" with the 3 emails.
Lardy Rich is knitting personal mails to each customer which ought to take care of business.


I'd advise waiting until the end of the day.
If matters aren't resolved by then, consider forwarding one of the 3 emails back as an illustration of what went wrong.

I have to confess to being a TLF rules junkie, so I weakened and did the pre-order just before it closed....I watched some of the Youtube videos and was suitably hooked.

Like Ithoriel and Dave I got 3 emails in quick sucession this afternoon from TFL, however all three had PDF download links for the rules and the top down "starter army" bases (which are very nicely done) The hard copy rules are on the way as well.     

My first impressions......WOW!!! A very nicely presented set of ancient rules that look like they will a lot of fun to play after labouring through the period with WRG rules for many years (Well DBM/DBMM wise anyway, I do like DBA).

The 20 army lists give plenty of veriety of both Roman and opposing armies from the 100BC to 200AD period and emphasis is on the optionally of using other units if the players wish to field them if their own research indicates that they can.

Should I have bought them? Logically probably not as we play so many different things here already but then I'm not planning on pushing anyone else into playing them anytime soon.

Overall I've got no regrets getting them though, they look like another very solid set of rules from TFL from a first look (interupted by a 45 minute power cut!).

Same for me. I was informed on Friday that the PDF's will be ready tomorrow.

[Ithoriel]

"To err is human, for a real f**k up you need a computer"

To be honest, I'd assumed the error might be mine, the mental cogs and wheels do not spin as fast as they once did, I find.

I'll await further emails with interest!

These rules (and pretty much everything else on the site) are available with 20% off using the discount code APOLLO on https://www.karwansaraypublishers.com/ for the moment.

I may have picked up the pdf of the rules and the printable armies. Now if only I could fix my printer.

Having played a couple of games on Saturday I would say that if you have an interest in the Armies and Enemies of Rome, or if you just like games with innovative mechanisms, get 'em while they're hot!

I got sent some house rules for converting Strength and Honour to cover the medieval period (100YW specifically).

Anyone here interested in seeing them? They are not extensive....2 pages, but might be useful base to build from.

 

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

I'd be interested have large 6mm WoR force.

I got sent some house rules for converting Strength and Honour to cover the medieval period (100YW specifically).

Yes Please.

[Orcs]

Yes please, Sunjester and I have large WOR armies.

[pierre the shy]

OK here is the original sized screenshot from the S&H facebook group...the rules were originally put together by Paul Clarke.



Hope they are of use to you all 

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Can't see em in the files section

I have played a couple of club games and have been very impressed.  It is great to move away from millimetre measuring and use the grid so I am planning a move from DBA, which is beginning to strain my old eyes.  I think the game play is more impressive too.
