We play-tested "Trial by Fire" rules with some fully painted miniatures. Enjoy!

Looks very good.

Are you still adjusting your rules or do you have them developed to a point where you are pretty happy with them now?

I'm playing the Ottomans in a 1915 game vs some ANZACs next week -  hopefully my dice rolling will be as good as the Ottomans in this game  ;)

@techno: Lucky indeed! Trial by Fire uses a movement command system somewhat similar to Black Powder. They were able to move max. amount of distance nearly every turn. Some bad MG dice from me made sure the assaults were not repelled.

@pierre: I am happy with the rules as they are. But we're still making adjustments as necessary and working on national special rules. Rules are out for anyone who wants to try.

Wish you good luck overcoming the Johny Turk!

I was playing the Ottoman side. Indeed there was much luck involved. Everything went according to the plan, or taking the phrase from the rules.."excellent plan" :) Very good bartep Batu.
