Last night the Basement Generals gathered in, you guessed it, the basement to try out some rules I've been piddling around with on and off for years. It combines ideas from all over, but mostly from my own Fistful of Lead family. These are meant to fight larger battles with units of 10-12 miniatures and vehicles but still have the ease and fun of a FfoL game.

Splendid stuff, we don't see enough traditional VSF games around here much these days. Good to see the Brits go toe to toe with the Germans and the French. ;D

Thanks, everyone. The First World just started a bit early in the particular universe.
Mechanics-wise it's really a lot the same. Same card driven turn sequence with special cards doing the same things. Same ranges and to-hits. Except now you roll lots of dice for shooting and close combat. Roll a die for each mini in the unit, halved if its shaken. Roll more hits than misses, target is shaken on top of casualties, which makes it really hard to do at long range, which makes sense to me. Roll more 1s than hits, the unit is low on ammo (roll half dice when shooting/fighting) until they spend a turn (or use 6) get some ammunition from the rear.
Contraptions and vehicle fit pretty seamlessly into it. I added some critical hit fun-ness and sustain rolls ala GASLIGHT. I was surprised how well it went. I could easily use the mechanics for other periods as well. Now, to MARS!!!!

To Mars!!!

Flying contraptions shouldn't be too hard.

Love those steam-driven walkers !

Thanks. Most are 20 years old or more. It shows.

This looks very interesting. I'm a big fan of the FFoL concept so this has got my attention.

Heartily agree. I should pull my finger out..... along with the terrain and figures.

Lovely table and great miniatures!! Nice to see some larger scale games of VSF coming back to LAF.

You shouldn't have put it there in the first place ;) lol

Some very nice stuff on show
I like the clockwork Number 5
Rules sound like fun

Most of of my contraptions are scratchbuilt. Thank God for the failed Disney Atlantis toys for the basis of most.

Good to see you're taking FFoL in the direction of larger battles for VSF. Keep up the good work that man!
-
May need to take them underwater...
-
Any plans to publish these rules soon, officially or otherwise?
-
They need some more refining and there are quite a few supplements to FfoL in line before them.

Watch this space ;)

+1, the rest of my painted figures become jealous, when I do not use them... ;)
