Hi, had an idea to let my pirate crews from Legends of the High Seas (a variant of LOTR), to get lost in a caribbean storm (perhaps go too close to Bermuda...
I'd look at the Mûmak, and then develop the stats from there... obviously a T-Rex wouldn't have tusk attacks, but a very powerful bite, and so on.... ... Med...
... You need to look a bit earlier for big Celtic victories: The Allia (387BC) - Roman army destroyed by the Gauls who went on to sack Rome. Sentinum 100BC - 2...
Yes, and Pterodons and Pterodactyls could be based on the Great Eagles.... and depending on size, maybe the Fell Beasts... Possibilities are legio :-) ...
... Cool! it's WAY more than I had! Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ See what people are saying about Windows Live....
Glad you like it... Translation will have to wait... I had a hedge in need of trimming :-/ M.v.h./Regards Niels Chr. Kragh ... From: Michael Taylor To:...
I've uploaded the files again with more corrections and added a couple of more rules. Legionary Veterans now get a Dacian armour upgrade option to fit in with...
Hi all, I was glancing through the shelves at the local Hobbyco the other day, and spotted the ?new? Robin Hood and Sherrif of Nottingham packs from Airfix.......
... It has come up from time to time. I agree that it is an ideal adaption from the Legends series, ie gang based rather than just simple skirmish rules. I...
... Not new. 1964, according to: http://www.plasticsoldierreview.com/Review.asp?manu=AIR&code=01720 I like these plastics. The addictiveness counter-balances...
I think you'd need rules for ambushes, including climbing trees, hiding in pit traps, etc. Possibly rules for "spotting" hidden models, etc. Regular troopers...
... Gulp. I have nasty feeling that I had some of these when they first came out. 8-0 Terry _________________________________________________________________ ...
Robin Hood games would be perfect for LOTR rules, loads of heroes and the right sized 'battles' for the game and theme. I don't think you would need to change...
... Nah, I don't like the Elven cloak rule especially for LOTR. Users had to be actively hiding for them to work and not while shooting and moving. Dave...
Finally had my first game tonight and as nobody has got a Celt army ready yet, it was Roman V Roman and it worked extremely well. We played Reconoiter from...
... That is pretty much what we have found (going for game #4 tonight). The only anomaly which struck us was the cost of a Celt javelin (2 pts) compared to a...
Guys, I reckon that a rules variant would do wonders with the "pulp" period too; encompassing late Victoriana, darkest Africa, cthulhu like stuff, Van Helsing...
An interesting idea! As far as i can see, the more modern weapons and equipment is the bone for contemplation here - character stats can more or less be taken...
Personally, I like the Tom Jones Whats up Pussy cat song.I know it's not unusal but it remindes me of the green green grass of home.lol  OLDER GAMER'S WILL...
It looks like Warlord have got ahead of us again. Two (possibly three) issues to look at. Carroballista Warlord are offering a carrobalista (ie a wagon mounted...
Late Victoriana. I think that the Legends of the Old West would be a better choice........ John Sep 17, 2008 08:20:44 AM, LOTRvariants@yahoogroups.com wrote: ...

... Ballistas were not moved during the battle. Thats the reason for creating the carroballista - it gave the Romans a mobile artillery piece instead of a ...
