Review: Burrows and Badgers- Osprey Games

[Easy E]

I have a new game review up.... Burrows and Badgers.



I recently got a large order of Osprey Game rules in the mail.  They included titles from the main range of wargames as I am all up-to-date on the Osprey Wargaming Series.  I picked up a wide variety of titles and genres intent on letting my family decide what skirmish game they wanted to try next.  I let them look through the various titles, page through the books, I gave them a quick synopsis of the rules, etc.  At the end of the day, the decision for the next campaign was unanimous.  The winner was….

Burrows and Badgers

…. I guess the idea of playing Redwall-esque anthropomorphic animals in a fantasy setting was too much for them.   Therefore, I sat down and decided to give the game a good read through and I figured I might as well give the game the old Blood and Spectacles review in the process.  After all, if my family has their way we will be seeing plenty of this game soon.

Now, into Northymbria we go……

Nicely done review, and a refreshing change from the "clickbait" blog links posted by a lot of people here.

Thank you for taking the time to put an image and some words in your post rather than just a blog link.

My pleasure and thank you for the compliment. 

It seems only sensible.  I mean, who is going to click a blind link now-a-days?

Thanks for the review but I have a couple of questions,

What do you mean by 4M?

What are polyhedron dice?

Thanks

Yes, thanks, I appreciate that approach. I'm going to go and read it now.

Having played a few games myself, I would argue that there are more opportunities for tactical play, especially where secondary objectives are concerned than you think.

Also, creature DO degrade in ability as they take hits.  Other than that you pretty much have it.

4M= Movement, Melee, Missiles, and Morale

Polyhedron dice = d4, d6, d8, d12, d20 your basic D&D dice

Oh, I will have to take a closer look at the degrading again.  I don't recall it at all.
