He said something about how it had elements from Napoleonics, The Great War and Battle Cry. Difference in having nation specific combat cards and an emphasis on retreat and regroup, and having a double retreat die face.

I'm sure he's going to get it, so I look forward to giving it a go sometime.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?

True! I've just made up a quick list of 30 rules differences as I went over the rules for the first time. The scenarios generally require a few more Victory Banners than some of the other games, which I like!

Leaders are also very important. The dice have only one infantry face instead of two, so casualties should be lighter, as one is "replaced" by the second flag, which tie into the morale system. Its funny that Cavalry does not hit on sabers! Eighteenth Century battles should be different than C&C games for any other period, which is great. One poster who playtested with Mr. Borg said its a fine system that is lots of fun to play. The armies are asymmetrical in their unit types as well as in the different national Combat (Second) Decks. Richard has said on another site that the first expansion will include the French army, and 12 more scenarios.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?

Hey @chas , have you ever heard of a war gamer named Hal Thinglum? He uses to be a big deal here in the Midwest, and used to publish the midwest wargaming newsletter for years. Anyway, he just posted on Facebook about the Indian Mutiny and Sikh wars of 1857-58. With the help of David Bickley, he put together a list of figure (a long list) that he got and will send out to get painted (he's 70 and doesn't paint anymore). He plans on using David Bickley's rules called The Devil's Wind. Hal used to have armies for this but had sold them, and he regrets that.

Anyway, I figured I'd mention that to you since you seem to be into the lesser known military conflicts sometimes and are into history.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?

Hahma,

Thanks. Yes, I mentioned to you once before that I used to write a column in his magazine for years. Unfortunately, being old school, I don't do Facebook, Twitter, photos, or etc.

That's right, I forgot about that. I had finally heard back from him after awhile from messaging him when looking him up. It took him awhile because he was new to Facebook and taking a bit to get used to it. So we friended on there and so I see his posts. It's nice to be able to stay in touch and up to date with or interests after all these years.

Seeing how he doesn't paint anymore but still enjoys the hobby, it reminds me that now that I'm 50, I have only so much painting in me and need to get it while I can

Guys.

If anyone can point me to a prepainted Sikh figure from that time period, I would really, really, really appreciate it.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?

Hahma,

Tell me about it. My only painting for months has been two groups of 12 54mm figures, and soon another one.

Dadscaper,

What scale, Dad?

Heroscape, of course.

TW brought us your good wishes when he came to our tournament a couple weeks ago. Thank you for thinking of us, and thank you for loaning us your Taeblewalker.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?

Got a new player into both Heroscape and zombicide black plague the other night. Much more fun to teach avid gamers how to play than people that dont play games. It lets the teacher have more fun instead of constantly teaching. Im going to give him a master set to teach his kids how to play.
