Title: Back to the Balkans
Post by: sunjester on 17 December 2017, 11:10:33 AM
Martin and I had an evening of The Men Who Would Be Kings games at the last club meeting. I really like the Osprey rules sets, I'm sure there are duff ones out there, but all the ones I have played give a enjoyable and fun game. I'd offered Martin to set the games in 19th century Africa or the Balkans in 1912 and he went for the Balkans. We used the skirmish scale (half size units)  which makes for a quick game. We played three scenarios and could have fitted a fourth in, but instead spent the time looking at the other games on that night and annoying chatting to the players.

To give you a duff example "World in Flames", don't think you can play that one at all. All the Mersey sets are good, but the Lion Rampant series do confuse me somewhat, all so similar but subtly different !
