and kill that annoying idiot with the trumpet.
Lovely stuff. Most importantly you had fun.
Would you care to share whatever amendments you made to FFofL.
going to have to check out those rules too, Presumably they can be used for 'fantasy' without too much extra thought.
I suppose if people were keen to do fantasy now, the medieval part of the core rules could be used with elements from the Tales of Horror supplement.
Yes they certainly can although there will be a comprehensive fantasy supplement in the future :)
That is a beautiful table. Are the trees permanently affixed to the board? I've wanted to try and sink a tube into the board that a tree could mount in or be removed from as needed for the game.
lunchtime trip to the brewery for beer and pizza
If you want "magic" the mutations from Wasteland Warriors or the few spells in Tales of Horror will work for now. We have a 3 part Fantasy set coming out next year (fingers crossed), the first book will be the Medieval Combat part. You can stop with that and just have straight up Middle Ages battles or you can get the next two that add Magic and then fantastical beasts and their underground lairs.
Enough of a commercial break, I return you to your regularly scheduled thread.
Well I hope you bas***ds are happy with yourselves! This thread has broken down my resolve and i bought both rules and cards.
As if I am in need of a new project...

Yay! Another one falls to FfoL!
Richard. looks like you used the older version of armor rules?
Very possibly Jaye. Can you explain the difference? We played that a figure portrayed with a shield is automatically equipped with a shield, but that a figure shown with armour has to take ‘armoured’ as a trait. At least, I think that’s the way we agreed to play it! ;)
And the save just knocks the wound down one factor. So a Wound result is rolled but the knight makes his save. It gets knocked down to Shock.

Are these armor rules in the base "Fistful of Lead"? I can't find them in GH or WW..?
For those of us not in the know and don't want waffle about FfoL, I presume WW is Wild west and GH is Galactic Heroes?
Is there a lot of modification needed to make the rules medieval (or fantasy, even) or can one get by with the rules as written?
Yes, more pictures and games, please!

Malamute, Harry and Has.been said it best. It is not a power gaming ruleset. It is great for getting out all those old minis you have lying around and putting together a small for e without alot of monetary commitment. We use them for everything. Spaceship battle this Thursday. The full Medieval rules will come out next year most likely. But the Core book is available as a pdf if you don’t want to soend a lot if money on our recommendation and both the Fistful of Lead and Wiley Games Facebook pages as well as the Wiley Games site have all kinds of examples of games. PM with wuestions so we can get back admiring Richard’s toys.Fully agree and one Addition: It is a good set to start with unfamiliar gamers. Easy to learn, not the masses of figures and every era could be played.
Just caught up with this - absolutely superb :-*
Late to this thread but an absolutely stunning table and miniatures.
Question, would you mind sharing some pictures of how you store such a table?
My desert boards (see here https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=52964.1125) are 600mm square foam slabs, so I keep them boxed, with a cube of off-cut styrofoam placed as a spacer on the four corners of each board, to separate it from the board above or below it.
Just the foam slabs, Darrell. I've used lots of them down the years. I don't base them on MDF or ply; I don't edge them with anything, I don't even tape the edges. They're solid, rigid slabs - they won't warp; they physically can't bend.
Yes, if you're going to drop them down stairs, generally bash them around, or walk into sharp-edged door frames carrying them, they're going to suffer.
But providing you're scrupulously careful when you move them around (and I've moved these from venue to venue a fair bit) they're as durable as anything else, plus extremely lightweight and thus highly portable and easy to handle. I've had some of these slabs for around 10 years now, and they're as good as new.
(The surface coating of sand/paint/PVA gloop which plasticises and sets hard provides a very useful additional layer of protection).
Provided you have the space to store them (which I totally appreciate many people don't) and a big enough car to move them, I don't really understand why everybody doesn't use this kind of terrain.
;)
So so good..will be getting me the rules plus the medieval supplement this year.Your table is a wargamers dream and the game looks like my sort of thing with not too much to paint but lots of hilarious/heroic variables...outstanding stuff gents
More when you can
Cheers
Kev
Yup and might try to inveigle my way into one of your games at some point.Will hassle Mark to hide me in the boot
Good to hear you are joining the kewl kids ;) :) lolI saw you joined the Wiley Games FB page, Kev. Welcome to the inner workings of the Dark Side.
So is Bob the Butcher a single figure or a conversion?
He’s such a cool mini!
I would like to read more adventures from Bob. Those fancyful knights are overrated...
What a great looking game!There is nothing wrong with you I always think of that when I see one of these games
I'm not sure if I like the figures or the scatter terrain more (there may be something wrong with me...)
Sounds like a right royal punch up!
Hope we are going to see this at BLAM?
Bob wastes no time in showing these strange foreigners exactly what he thinks of the idea of them handling his plums.

Good man.
Like I say, if you’re ever in the vicinity ;)
Yep, come and join us for some feudal fun! :)
I just downloaded the rules to. They look perfect for a Song and Ice and Fire romp I could play with my sons.
*Checks work calendar and starts to think of work-related reasons to head back to the UK for a long weekend :-)
I think this has to happen :-)
That said, one of the traits you can give your leader is ‘Horde’, which means you can swap out all your specialists and regulars for grunts, giving you a horde of 12 plus the leader. But each group of three grunts still only activates on one card per group...
I would! ”Winning before fun”, thats my motto.
Lovely stuff! :-* Will Sir Bernard's brother Sir Michael make an appearance one day? ;) ;)

One question , do you take notes during the game to write up the report afterwards or are you just going along the pictures you take during the battle?
This is a really good AAR indeed, the terrain is stunning as are the figures. And yes, I would like to live there ;)

I'm seriously beginning to run out of superlatives when it comes to describing the overall aesthetic of Richard's games.
Thanks chaps :)
Thanks Darrell, although it’s maybe not quite all that, since I literally just noticed in the pics that for much of that game, there was a tree plonked by someone (not me!) in the middle of the flipping river lol
Ah, that’s what comes of reorganising a wargames tabletop in a hurry to get playing the next game ::) ;D
lol
Oops! ::) lol
I blame you too >:D
You must of moved it when I killed your knight lol lol lol
I had not spotted that incongruous tree. Now i can't stop looking at it. It has utterly wrecked this thread for me, and so it should be locked by the moderator (whoever that is).
lol
How come you bastards get to have all the fun, while the rest of us linger in Corona induced gamelessness.
Lovely spread and a most enjoyable battle report.

Thanks fellows :)
But wait, I thought you Swedes were doing the Rona differently to the rest of us Europeans? I figured you’d be out to play every night of the week Peder ;)
That's right! We gather in large groups in retirement homes over the weekend and play Warhammer 40K with the elderly. No mask. As per recommendation from the authorities.
It was Nick!
I’m definitely not human.
lol
It's inherently messy.Thank you Richard. That's me in a nutshell.

That's a bit of Shakespearian Birnam Wood creeping into the scenario. :)
These are very inspiring as everything looks so great and there is great attention to details.
May I ask how big was the table on the part III? Looks to be quite sizeable with about 20 buildings on the table.
MORE MORE MORE!!!
