Title: Dux Bellorum AAR
Post by: Steve J on 19 January 2013, 12:34:13 PM
I've put up an AAR of my first solo game of Dux Bellorum. I haven't got any figures yet, so have been suing some counters to get a feel of the game. Already this has given me an idea of what I need to order for the various warbands I'm thinking of.

Nice one Steve ;)

I have been doing this in 10mm (Sea Raiders - Vikings) v Saxons in 10mm using FOG bases and it works well. Saying that I do have quite abit of 28mm for Saga and am now able to field Scots, Irish, Saxons and Vikings which gives me a bit more choice army wise, at least until Pendraken do some more suitable figures for the ranges in question

Good report Steve  :)
I bought the rulebook a couple of months ago & read though the rules which I thought looked fun, but got no further. This has inspired me to have a bash.
I'll use counters to try it out but you can't beat the real thing can you.

They beat my effort of scrawling in pen on some unused MDF bases.

Dead simple to do:

- Print out counters onto A4 paper.
- Spray mount paper to plastic or card backing, or alternatively use double sided tape (more durable).
- Cut counters out.
- Play game with counters :).

I'm no graphics whizz, all I did was copy some free flags of the Web, re-size to appropriate base size in any graphics or Word type package, then add text over the top. Simples.
