Gentlemen i think your discussion of using this or that or not to use goes nowhere so lets end it.
Expressing opinions is valid but if this goes on i will have to stop it so watch the language.

Friendly warning. ;)

Through the kickstarter we sold over 900 books and the backers have already downloaded their pdf. The printed book plus their victrix starter boxed should be getting to them end of Jan start of Feb.

We are in the process of standing up late pledges. Retail should be available in US and EU by March

we are very happy to start seeing initial battle reports coming in...

cheers and happy 2020...

My first read through of the book has been very positive, i like the activation mechanics and the fatigue system. what square bases do you use? Victrix?

If you look at the last picture the greeks are on victrix bases while the carthaginians are on shogun miniatures bases...

But of course rules do not require a specific basic at all, round, square, everything goes..

Thanks for your kind comments,

regards,
Francisco

My first game of CLASH of Spears, 700 points per side. Just learning rules. Love the activation/fatigue system. My Romans clashed with Greek Colonies Hoplites. Unfortunately they got too many fatigues and fight was hard for them. Overall the game is very good. must learn some new tactics. Hope my next game will be tomorrow.

Are you testing out Macedonia/Successors yet?  If yes, are you looking for beta testers because I have a warband that is painted, based and ready to go!

We will put the playtest lists and point system online once we finish shipping the KS by end of Feb.

Playtesting will be open.

I also have a warband that could help with playtesting this period.  A personal favorite of mine.
