Galactic Heroes preview: Near Future battle
« on: March 23, 2018, 05:52:28 PM »
I ran another game of Fistful of Lead: Galactic Heroes. I'm really liking how the rules are playing.
I wanted to use this scenario and group of miniatures to showcase the versatility of the rules. This was more of a "Near Future" type game vs Space Opera.

The Union Forces were fighting a holding action against the Rebels who had overrun the previous positions. The Union troops had to hold out long enough to get an off table squad to the landing pad carrying vital intel.

Coming along nicely. I need to get some bugs to try a horde of aliens vs a stranded few.

  Hi, I was curious how well the rules will handle a somewhat larger game? I already know the FFoL can handle tons of players. My game at Cincycon had 16 players using 50 figures. Could one player run 8-10 figs give or take?

Thanks.

Depends on the player. The guys I play with aren't that bright.
