3 battle imaginations Dark Age mini campaign
« on: May 07, 2019, 03:29:55 PM »
A fellow blogger, Jay, has but together a 3 battle mini campaign for some 18th Century imaginations action. It is hex based, but he has provided maps and counters for download, though the engine could quite easily be used on an open table and indeed the original scenarios are intended to be used that way.

I have taken his campaign engine and adapted it to an 'imaginations' Dark Age story line. All good fun.

I like these mini campaigns, Norm , and enjoyed reading your blog . I’ll certainly take a look at your friends Jay’s imaginations map and counters. Thanks for posting. ✔️

Some great ideas to get one thinking about mini campaigns.
I have always liked it when results of one battle are carried over to the next.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks all. I'm sure this would work with any rules, any period and even increased in scope - for me, the 'creation' and immersion in the 'imaginations' was really rewarding and going to very light rules meant doing that without any distraction, I doubt I picked the rule book up more than a couple of times.

Thanks very much for sharing

I like the alternative approach to a ladder campaign
My LAF Gallery is HERE
Minis (foot & mounted) finished in 2024 = 32
(2023 = 151; 2022 = 204; 2021 = 123; 2020 = ???)
