Re: BattleLore Discussion
Some quick-ish "theory-loring" notes for you:
All very reasonable - though I wouldn't suggest limiting the skilled abilities to only blue and green banners. While it is a natural association...

Re: BattleLore Discussion
Somewhat ironically, I first tried Vassal with HeroScape - not a very good platform for HS ;) I find it works fabulously for the Commands & Colors games. I think Vassal is pretty intuitive to set...

Like Jazz, I'm also a fan :) And, like Jazz, I also find a lot of value in the dwarf and goblin expansions. Unless supporting your local game store is part of the objective, you should be able to get...

I echo most of champrjk's comments (though the set-up time has never been an issue for me - all relative, I suppose). I've played this game more than any other since its release (with Commands &...

I really enjoy playing the scenarios that come with that expansion - they all present situations that I find very interesting to try to exploit and mitigate for each side.
I love the full war...

Yes, it is red. There are two very impactful differences that the lancers have though: Mounted Knights are bold and ignore the first bonus strike rolled by all units in close combat - meaning they...

Nope. Unless you count the announced Heroes event at GenCon as news. No indication from FFG as of yet whether that is wishful thinking or scheduled with the release in mind.

I don't think the Rockets will have much success if pissing Kobe off is one of their key strategies. Now, if what Artest is whispering into Kobe's ear is something like "That you've won 60+ games...

I very much enjoy playing the scenarios in HYW - they are ripe with tough choices to be made. And the Medieval Lore rules are an excellent variant. I still prefer the mayhem of a full lore council,...

Just like in a face to face game :D
Seriously, this is an aspect of Vassal that I very much enjoy. Plays freely, as one would in a face to face game, up to the players to enforce the rules.
