I want to try a FR multi-player game, 2 players per side on a 4' x 6' table, 28mm scale in a 5 hour time slot (including set-up). How many points would you...
Way cool! Let us know how it goes. I think 750 -100 points is fine, especially for 5 hours! Are you going to play FR!3 or FRTCE? TCE would allow bigger...
Thanks for the reply, I was thinking of FR3 but FRTCE may be easier for new players to learn. Some of the things I do not like about HOTT are the abstract...
... Brian, 750 sounds good. If you were interested in each having their own morale clock (so 4 in total) I think the N-Player Sequence of Play at the Annex...
Thanks for the advice Dave. Another question I am wondering about is how to convert my Undead HOTT / Warhammer army to FRTCE. For example I am not sure what I...
... The link to the Annex: http://Dave.dynip.com/FR!Annex/ Is under the links section of the yahoo group, the way you worded your question I thought you were...
I have an interest in HOTT for a campaign or would try FR3 for the campaign and tactical battles. Is FR3 available? Is it the same one that is in the files...
There are 2 versions at this time. FR!3 is the full rule book and is the one I use. There there is FRTC this is a light version of the rules and is totally...
It seems the unit stats (reference table) for FR!TCE and FR!3 are different. For example the Undead do not have Pikes in FR!TCE but they do in FR!3. Are the...
I don't have my TCE with me but I can tell you that armies have focuses to make them unique, Your undead army might have the focus that gives you pikes while...
Again, FR!3 has a different army structure than FR!TCE. FR!TCE has army focuses, so pikes are part of an army focus. I believe I modified TCE for undead to...

Thanks for the reply. So if I understand correctly you cold make mummies HW elite in FR!TCE? Beastmen sounds good for ghouls. As to the pikes perhaps as you...
In TCE, you have two choices. To use the optional army focuses or not. In the army focuses, for undead, you would choose the Necromancer character focus...

Another possibility I am considering is a Dracula themed army: Szgany musket men, Szgany cavalry, wolves, succubi, rat swarms, bats and Dracula himself. ...
I am in the process of setting up my first FR!TCE game at my local wargames club and am making good progress on my Undead army list. However my opponents...
With FR!TCE, you pick army focuses (weres, barbarians, artillery?). With FR!3, you can pick Orcs or weres among others. depends on your notion of what the...

Curtis, Thanks for the reply; perhaps I was not precise enough in my question. What I was looking for is an example of a list for Skaven and or Uruk-Hai. The...
... Brian, Certainly they have, but that doesn't mean there's a Skaven list. I can't speak to TCE, but in normal FR Army Lists aren't race specific, they are...
Dave, Thanks for the reply, the players are all coming from a Warhammer background so the races need to resemble what they were like in that game. If I allow...
... I realize that, but I think its a mistake for you to try to emulate their army for them. First it won't feel right to them as your view is bound to be...
Brian: If I was in your shoes I'd pick a race/list/whatever that comes as close as possible to Skaven. Then I'd take whatever the name of that list was and put...
You make some good points. However this is a club game potentially replacing a HOTT game. We have found the best way to get people involved is if they...
Nathan, Thanks for your thoughts, the idea of converting another list to Skaven is a good idea. Since in many ways creating the army list is part of the fun...
