The only things of real note in the previous one that I'm unsure of is the Orders dice which I am unsure of in practice and the added morale bits which are a bit artificial and led to me tinkering with combat. There is 2/3 reduction in ranges but that was all around as a practical issue. I need to think about that.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-91458762861761769822013-06-13T04:52:27.255-03:002013-06-13T04:52:27.255-03:00Ross Mac,

I felt that my rules were getting a bit too complex and inflexible ... and hence my return to Morschauser's 'Frontier' rules for a bit in inspiration. Mind you, I have yet to manage a play-test and I am already getting advice and ideas for other people as to how they can be developed!<br /><br />What I want to do is to give then a try 'as is' and then to look at developing them. The problem is setting aside enough time to run a play-test as I need to do some tidying up in my wargames room first (sound familiar, does it?). Hopefully I should manage to run a game on Satuday ... unless real-life intervenes yet again.<br /><br />I am following your 'journey' with interest, especially as you seem to be a bit further down the road than I am.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839601747923375105.post-6275437413884090392013-06-13T01:22:49.374-03:002013-06-13T01:22:49.374-03:00I've had a look at Rattle of Dice (RoD?) and i...I've had a look at Rattle of Dice (RoD?) and it feels like a leaner meaner version of the latest HofT I read a couple of days ago.<br /><br />No bad thing perhaps, but really they both seemed fine, which I guess isn't a very helpful comment :-)Steve Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00784652695519954845noreply@blogger.com
