Wewenge! Big win to the Picts, dead elephants, dead Catafracts x2, four cavalry crushed, skirmishers pushed off table. Lost three units and some skirmishers, actually very close game.

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game?

Principles of War

2) What armies were confronted?

Colonial British vs Egyptian Army

3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset?

Yes

4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset?

No

5) How many players were in the game?

Six

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - WRG Horse and Musket
2) What armies were confronted? - French versus Anglo-Hannoverian
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - Yes - bit using it on and off for ages
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - No
5) How many players were in the game? - 1 - solo

1) What ruleset did you use in your last game? - Test of Honour
2) What armies were confronted? - Samurai v Samurai
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - Simple enough, possibly too simple.....
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - Yes. Four games in just under two hours
5) How many players were in the game? - Solo - getting my head around the mechanisms before playing against a live opponent tonight

On first impressions I think this is quite a dull game. Im hoping that playing against an opponent might be more exciting. It all feels a little too much like a roleplaying game for my l;ikes. I can imaging GW players will love it.

The figures that came with the game are appalling. Hard to put together and lifeless. They look like PC game 3d models.

Glad I only shelled out £35 for the basic starter set. If I do take this further I'll be investing in Perry Minis or other metals on the market.

Played 4 back to back games in just under four hours last night - played at a leisurely pace with both of us only having had the briefest of read throughs and happy to say that other than the figures, Test of Honour gives a decent enough game.

Like most back of the fag packet rules, there's quite a bit of ambiguity in some of the rules so I wouldn't like to play these with a power gamer/rules lawyer. Where these issues arose we just agreed on a sensible interpretation and got on with the game.

Not entirely sure I will buy any of the expansions unless they come as seperate card sets and figures as I still do not like the look of the Wargames Factory minis which are pretty lifeless.

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - 2 games of MeG and 1 of Quartermaster General
2) What armies were confronted? - Picts vs Abbysids, the Picts vs Tagmatic Byzantines, the Allies vs Axis
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - yes, yes, no
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - no, no, yes
5) How many players were in the game? - two, two, three
15-3, 0-15, small loss!

You have been busy

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - 2nd day of MeG competition, so two more games.
2) What armies were confronted? - my Picts vs Dynastic African Arab dynasties and the my own Romans!
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - yes
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - given that I had played Saturday...
5) How many players were in the game? - two each.

Hard slog ve African Arabs, 8-10 draw as we timed out. Vs my own Romans (1400 Pendraken figures on table) I was slaughtered 4-15!
Came 12/16 overall with an army not designed to win, but had a great time.

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - Baroque
2) What armies were confronted? - Covenant vs Montrose
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - towards the end of the game, yes.
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - Yes
5) How many players were in the game? - two

After many years of largely passive interest in the Scots part of the larger Civil War I finally took the plunge last Christmas and, inspired by DGuy's blog, invested in a set of Baroque rules. Today I was finally able to play my first test game, a refight of the Battle of Inverlochy, on Paul R's kitchen table. I played the Covenant side while Paul ran Montrose's forces.

While the historic outcome was not seriously challenged (Montrose eventually sweeping the Covenant forces from the field), the clan Maclean did manage to see off MacColla's bodyguard before themselves being dispersed by a adverse cohesion test and the Campbell levies from Innerea broke the somewhat rash charge of Sir Thomas Ogilvie's troop of horse (the only cavalry in the scenario) as they tried to outflank the Covenant right flank.
   
Overall a very enjoyable afternoon's gaming. We both learnt a lot and were impressed enough with the rules to agree to a further game using them sometime in the near future set South of the border......hopefully Sir Arthur Hasilrigg's Regiment of Horse will show up for that one


     

   

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - Twilight of the Sun King
2) What armies were confronted? - French vs Confederate NYW
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - Yes.
4) and... was this the first time you used this ruleset? - No but first game for one player.
5) How many players were in the game? - two

The game was a smaller game to introduce the rules to one of the players. The 2 armies were generic NYW armies.

It was a great game and went down to the wire. The French attacked on both wings as their cavalry were superior in quality, meanwhile their infantry moved up to support the wings but didn't press the attack. The Confederate player realised that his infantry had the advantage so attacked in the centre. To cut a long story short the French broke their opponents right and left and in the centre the French infantry broke. This meant the Confederates had to take army morale tests while they reorganised to counter the French cavalry. With both wings gone it was not long before they failed the test.




The game went well and the new player soon picked up the game. The French exploited their superior cavalry and command to get victory.

Here are a few not very good shots.
