RoF review on TMP today

[Colonel Kilgore]

There's a nice little review of both versions 1 and 2 of the RoF rules linked from TMP today, written by a former (active, and much lamented) member of this Forum:

The pre-battle mechanics of RoFv.1 sound like the kind of thing I was aspiring to with my Westeros campaign rules...

Apart from the comment about no winning the fight mqrker, it was an interesting if short, read. If you've  an aversion to grids then youre always going to be biased against rules with them in.

I enjoyed the first version and played it quite a bit, but the 2nd version is superior in my eyes.

I would like to try it on a 5x3 mat. I wonder what difference it would make?

RoF1 is a good game and I do enjoy the campaign narrative. I even bought some of the little boots for it. I think I have demonstrated how easy it is to make a winning the fight marker, simply by using an active looking figure on a 20mm round base. I have still yet to give RoF2 a go.

I had a pack of those boots Andy. They maybe qualify for the oddest thing Ive painted.

I enjoyed making and playing the version 1 pre game.

For those who have not seen it .
It is an adventure type exercise in which players decide which direction and action to take etc.
e.g You now choose to march the army onwards or camp overnight where you are. If you march on go to section xx.....

PS. I will try to find the old version files and put it out as a pdf if there is interest?

[Smiley Miley 66]

I very much enjoyed the 2 games I played of the old rules before the new version was born.
I do enjoy ECW. One day I will get my Parliamentarians painted up.

Martin,

It was the names of the characters that impressed me. Sir Fleming Nadger was my favourite. Were they the work of the late great Rob?
