Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
Song of Blades and Heroes
I know there are people playing with more figs, on the order of 30 but I'm not sure how they are doing it as it doesn't interest me.
I started up a blog when I first got the game and gave a pictorial walk through of my first two games. And then promptly gave up blogging.

It can be but I see that as a selling point. I've played enough minis games where you have an omnipotent view of the battle field and solider do exactly what you want. There is no drama there.Stephen Avery wrote: Nice blog. I'm kinda interested in the game but it looks like a lot of stalling out and hoping the figs actually do what you're planning. I'd like something a bit more cinematic perhaps.

SoBH has drama, tense moments, cheers of jubilation and screams of frustration.
If you don't like risk management then it's not the game for you.

Agreed! 15mm stuff are a whole lot cheaper, there's bunch of miniature choices (you've got to see the awesome that is demonworld 15mm miniatures!!!) and they are fast to paint, so long as you don't use the methods for 28mm. I have a small number of 15mm for post apocalyptic gaming.
Me? I've gone as low as 10mm for fantasy mass game (HOTT).

And interested in going to 3mm for combined modern arms modern combat!
Nice blog. I'm kinda interested in the game but it looks like a lot of stalling out and hoping the figs actually do what you're planning. I'd like something a bit more cinematic perhaps.
The most cinematic rules that I've ever read are the rules from the Two Hour Wargames. Unfortunately, not only they're difficult to wrap around your hand, even with the massive improvement in the rules writing lately, you have to fill in the gaps on your own quite a bit. It's very different from other rules, that it deals more with how different types of character react in combat, not on the multitude of gears, weapons, armors, and special rules.
Usually miniature rules are you move, and you shoot. Or probably move twice or shoot twice. Not in THW rules. You move, you see opponents. Figures shoot, some faster than the others, but not always. Some figures lay dead. Some run to cover. Some stays. As long as hostile figures are within LOS of each other, they keep shooting (or may be they duck back next turn... who knows?). Groups get separated. Really fun.

Songs of Our Ancestor
Deep Wars
Deep Wars has a great mini line, if you haven't seen it you should check it out! Lots of deep sea divers vs cthulhu monsters to be found there.

I play Blades/Heroes and use Ravenloft tiles for the Gold/Darkness Expansion. Good times. Can't wait until my wee Dwarven Forge terrain shows up. Holy shit is that going to be an eyefeast.
Incidentally, Bistro was the one who turned me onto this system and subsequently I played it and several variants (Mutants and Death Ray Guns) until I found something better for post-apoc, which was Wastelands 3: Total Meltdown. It's nearly the perfect game, and it's free. I found one better, but they haven't got their book done yet although I'm privy to the rules due to my "media big shot" status. LMAO Seriously, though, when the poster above me (msears) gets his partner to stop writing and start printing, it will be the best post-apoc system in existence.

You had as much of a shot at that as I did. I am ready to have that book out, believe you me. Thanks for the kind words though Petey.
