A basic point for a character is 40 pts add the weapons cost as per the rules. Count 5 pts per additional stats in the normal profile. for example a normal cpt...
Funny you mentioned doing this . A few weeks ago sitting in the train I was musing about making stats for all the hero's and villains from Ivanhoe ( which also...
I'm giving this some thought... I'm assuming we can discount the 'slow reload' rule for minie rifles, and am I right in thinking they had primitive revolvers?...
I would have thought just using the pistol rules from LOTOW would be adequate, could increase the misfire chance. No idea what a minie rifles is or how it...
... the standard firearm, so the slow reload is ignored. Rifles are still slow reload. Minie rifles were superior rifled muskets that were much quicker to load...
... Any muzzle loader should be restricted to reloading only while stationary. We actually found the game works better for earlier periods if slow reload...
After reading a few posts and finding the reference to and then using the LOTR cost calculator I discovered good and legendary horses in the mounts field. I...
... muskets are ... still ... stationary. ... ================== Having co-authored a Napoleonic Skirmish ruleset a few years ago I concur. I would retain the...
Hi - I've just joined the group. I've got the first set of rules that were printed - Fellowship of the Ring. Does this make any difference as far as the...
The Fellowship rules are ok to use as a basis but lack certain rules such as cavalry charges and sieges and some rules have changed quite a bit, if varient...
Hello all, Been a lurker for quite sometime and have decided to ask if anyone has ever done some kind of SciFi or 40k set up with the LotR rules? I like some...
Hi Jonathan, Like you, I'm primarily a lurker, and I too think it would be fun to adapt LOTR to 40K. But UNLIKE you, I'm still looking and don't see any...
It's the Imperial Guard files. Basically this is Battle Companies where each player takes and upgrades a squad of Imperial Guard. Note, I have not played 40K...
I finally got my copy of Showdown recently, and was as disappointed as others have been with the dismissive treatment given to a potential Aus variant of...

Yes I too was heart broken with Showdown, yes I still brought it, but was after more bang for my buck. Not enough rules for other period's, eg army list's,...
A long-term project of mine, too. To date I have Ned & about 3-4 police (correctly in civvies and very casual uniform), these were from Mike Broadbent who...
Hello all, I have buy the book last week and read it. Very nice and adaptable, not so much complex but instead complete how options. Very nice. I will try to...
... I quite like it, it's quick in play and using a d6 ties are common enough that it makes the difference. If we were using a bigger die, like a d10 or d12,...
Hi Gav, thanks for the reply, I understand your point but the possibility if a tie are very low. 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36 lesser than the 3% or not? What do you think...
Actually, the probability of getting a tie is 1 in 6 (assuming both opponents throw just one die). There are 6 combinations for ties: 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5,...
