A few minor variations on the rules as in the 1066 file. Each player is entitled to one argument per turn (Month). In the event of a major battle , any...
Ok if every one can get the first turn in on/by Wednesday 6th Dec . I am hoping to run 2 turns/week, more if people are fast enough. The set up is as follows. ...
I'm fine with playing both...there were kinda two peas in a pod and got their asses kicked by tostig in real life...lets see what happens here My arguments/...
With the new revisions I am loath to play. Your thinking of this like some type of wargame. Wrong paradigm. Let the players decide where, when and how a battle...
new revisions? I miss something? All I have is the downloaded file from the archive. I'm not sure if this is everything. My impression is that a Matrix system...
Relax, sometimes I've been described as Prussia on steroids, not a girlie man Prussian to quote the Ahnold the Govenator of California. The rule about leaders...
First off, I pity you middle aged people. Im 41, I read somewhere that in a survey in the UK people dont think your middle aged untill your 49, so Ive still...
I checked on the Israeli news page and found that this it true. Here is the link. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3052074,00.html Chris Engle ... ...
I have a soft spot for the 1066 scenario. It's the one that introduced me to Matrix games at a game con in San Francisco. The scenario is well designed for...
saw the game, I found the rules quite simple, and realized that most of them were really red herrings, mainly meant as a crutch for those not well-acquainted...
William of Normandy sends heralds out accross the land announcing his claim to the throne of England. His claim is supported by many legal documents and...
VNN (Viking News Network) -- King Haralda decides that the throne of England is to be his. He has spent quite a bit of time assembling a large invasion force...
Tostig remains quiet hatching his dastardly plans. Morcar: Less than a year has passed since the people rose against the tyrant Tostig and elected me as their...
Next turn Due Tuesday 13th December (or thereabouts) January 1066 Harold is crowned King of all England. As the leading magnate in England, the crowning is...
Bravo on your first turn! Well handled! Of course your rolling sucked (for me anyway) so my opening move of superiority is destroyed. I will have to fall back...
February 1066 Rouen, Normandy William gathers his barons in Rouen for Mardi Gras. He tells them his plans for the invasion of England and gains their ascent....
I thought you handled the first turn well. I don't know about an average strength for my arguemnt, but with a one roll even the most brilliant argument fails,...
One thing I've learned from playing with Chris is that Matrix games work best when things happen. I am not sure it's a direct quote, but I think it's close....
The trouble with the "rate all Arguments stronger on the first turn" approach is that is wide open for abuse. It encourages everyone to go for long-shot...
Morning all Has anyone ever played or designed a game to be played in a chatroom? Regards Nick Smuts The Garrison Cell: +27 (0)83 453 8642 Work: +27 (0)11...
by design, luddite design. Leveler design more than luddite. I like machines... Chris Engle Hamster Press = Engle Matrix Games http://www.io.com/~hamster...
I'm personally glad the game started in Januuary given my first failed roll! It gives me a chance to correct things. Dylan's right that I usually rate...
Nick - here my luddite nature shows more. I've never actually been in a internet chat room. Not quite certain how they work. I do imagine a game could be...
... Which is exactly what I did with my first Norman argument (and lost because of it). Marcus has ample expereince with this from my arguments in his games. I...
As the winter winds howl across the land, The two brothers meet at York to discuss the news of William's possible attack. Harald and Tostig are the real...
That assumes Marcus, this is a rule which it isn't. It's a guideline and second that the players know the mind of god, which they don't. When referee's are...
Au contraire, mon frere! Even if one rates every Argument as Very Strong, if one rolls a series of 1s there will still be multiple Argument failures. If you...
Thanks for all the feedback. What I will say is that this is the last turn of Winter. March will be extraordinarily balmy , like Summer come early !.This is...
