What ruleset do you use in your last game?

[toxicpixie]

I'm with Last Hussar and Hertsblue on that!

[KTravlos]

I used Big Bloody Battles. I was very happy.

Durr - I know all that . What I meant was just because you cause most kills, or whatever else you want to call it, doesn't necessarily mean you've won the melee/close combat/ getting quite near the enemy. Happens especially with cavalry who appear to have won by causing most casualties but frequently end up bouncing off after combat results have been carried out. I actually like the system because it pays players who mass their troops for support rather than spreading them all over the place. I'm also a fan of systems which don't remove casualties - BP, Principles of War, Field of Battle, Impetus, Poleaxed etc.

Bolt Action.

My Russians took on the Germans again.

It was a bloody draw too.

The Germans forgot to issue ammunition but their StuG support was driven by, well, frankly a mad man who proceeded to run over half my company.  The utter cad...

Lion Rampant

4 player game- Byzantines (Me) allied with Normans vs Moors (Sujester) with Italian allies (Orcs).

2nd try, last tried it before Christmas, Seemed easy to pick up, and got a lot done in 2 hours

Orcs lost his General in an honour challenge from the Normans, Sunjester's went down to me driving off his skirmish riders then throwing 2 units of Cavalry, including my General, repeatedly at his General.

Quote of the evening
SJ - " I shoot at that unit [Mine]"
"Why don't you shoot at that one - its got his general in"
Me "Shut the F up, you are supposed to be on my F'ing side" 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

How is Sunjester?

[Last Hussar]

Trampled.

Do you play in 28mm as Warlord "Suggest", or one of Gods own scales? I've found in 28 it looks and feels daft but using 6/10/15 or even 20mm figures it gives a very decent game!

[Leman]

What's the basing/movement convention in Lion Rampant? I play Dux Bellorum in 28mm using 10x50cm and 10x75cm bases and it looks good. Any base size will do as movement is by b/w.

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

None as such, units are represented by a command distance.

Not-a-puritan:

We were playing with 28mm - 12 foot or 6 cavalry to the unit, but there is no reason you can't play with 5-6 10mm on a 20-25mm base.  You could use Warmaster bases, 1=2, and use a kill marker for one hit on a base.

Declare what you are going to do, and see if you make the command roll - differs between units, and depending on what you want them to do (move/charge/fire)

Combat is 12 dice, until you get down to half a unit. To Hit number depends on unit type and whether attacking or defending, so some units it is better to charge, others better to receive a charge.  Divide number of hits by enemy armour value, that is the number of kills.  Morale roll is 2d6-total men lost.  If under Courage, start running, if under 1 then routs and is removed.

Lots of special rules to make each generic unit kind different

[Hwiccee]

1) Frederick's Wars - Polemos SYW

2) 'British' (actually mainly various Germans) vs French, random armies from 1761. About 24 French battalions/bases plus supporting troops defending against about 16 'British'.

3) Yes very.

4) I ran the game and I know the rules very well. The 4 players hadn't played before but after a couple of turns they didn't need me.

[Steve J]

1) What ruleset do you use in your last game? - Dux Bellorum.
2) What armies were confronted? - Welsh vs Saxon Sea Raiders.
3) Did you feel comfortable with the ruleset? - Very.
4) and... was the first time do you use the ruleset? - No, Played many times before, but this game was an intro one for Dave Fielder.

[Leman]

I'm assuming Q4 is "Was this the first time you used this rules set?"
