Thanks for the great report, the advertising and the activity! I have just sold two copies of both SBH and SGD to people who played in Des Moines, and one of...
I think the existing mounted rulemakes it a rather risky buy. So I think there merit in what you now advocate. The possibility of +1 Combat and Free disengage...
Hmm, I don't think it's the case, it would change the game too much while changing only cavalry models is OK In some cases speed (Long move) and reflexes are...
Hi guys, I drove for a total of 6 hours today to run a demo table at a smallish con in Latina (south of Rome, near Anzio). It was a small historical con with a...
Fantastic! Were the youngsters new to miniature wargaming? The local club has been enjoying SBH (we now have club members fielding ratmen, goblins and...
The young boy said he just started to play D&D, his father is an historical wargamer, but he never played a tabletop minature game before. The young girl is...
For those who want "regular" dwarves to fight Splintered Light's Dark Dwarves, 15mm.co.uk just sent me a notice that they have a new skirmish pack available ...
Hi all, sorry for my silence these days, I'm quite busy and I can't spend here on the group the time I'd like to. Just a short notice, I've been invited to run...
Finally finished reading through the archives. It was cool to see the playtesting discussion and a couple other discussions. The points one was one of the...
... Using the points formula in the latest spreadsheet? Basically go through some profiles that no one else has posted yet and toss the points up here in an...
the tiles look terrific, when you turn this into a commercial product if you want to make an "official" SGD pack go ahead! I think both of us would benefit...
yes Nathan, for some reason I cannot get the spreadsheet to work on this computer so I'll have to install excel sometime (I have an old OEM version on another...
Andrea, Excel 97 works because that is what I built the thing on. :) So if your OEM version is at least from 1997, you should be good to go. Cheers! John...
I was contemplating making a mould and casting them in a resin of some sort. They're actually quite thin tiles, so it would probably be fairly economical as...
Things marked with * have the following issue: They have combat 0. Under the new points formula models with a combat of 0 have 0 points value unless they have...
Tormented souls are garbage troops and don't move well. Even with a commander, they activate on a 5+. I would hope that the player would use some restraint...
... Yeah, I don't think anyone is going to take ... The only concern is absolute masses of combat 0 troops. However, one gruesome kill with an arrow (which is...
A common rule/convention used with games that have custom points systems that let you build anything is the simple veto rule. If it's not one of the profiles...
I suspect there are more SBH players in 25mm at the moment, but I don't have any hard data. I'm trying to push 15mm skirmishing but lots of people play with...
let's not put any artificial limit on numbers. I did play with them (lots of them!) with the old point value, and I never managed to bring a moment of worry on...
I think the easiest solution is to declare that NO MATTER WHAT; NO MODEL MAY COST LESS THAN X POINTS This effectively limits minimaxers and enforces a maximum...
let's try like this, if I say the minimum cost of a model must be 3 points, what abusive models could you make to come at me with 100 of them? Let's call them...
Hi all, e23, Steve Jackson Games' online store, decided to carry SBH and its supplements. This should cause (at least I hope) a surge of new players, ...
I'm in talks with 15mm.co.uk -- they want to carry the rulebook in their store and prepare some 15mm warbands. They want to do "mixed" warbands as well as...
... You're probably right. 25/28/32mm gaming is probably a lot more common. ... There's tons of different kinds of resins. Resin (for these purposes) just...
... They can rely on getting a lot of activations, being cowardly won't hurt them too much as morale checks on 3+ aren't that bad. Greedy checks are at a 2+....
... common. There's 147 of us in this group. You could run a poll and find out. ;) I use 28mm-ish figures, myself. Al | http://www.rivetsandsteam.com...
