Title: [COMMERCIAL] Fistful of Lead: Bigger Battles on sale now!
Post by: BaronVonJ on 28 April 2020, 06:17:14 PM
We are thrilled to debut our 12th and long-awaited title, Fistful of Lead: Bigger Battles.

What our Core Rules are to skirmish level wargaming, Bigger Battles is for large scale skirmish wargaming. 

The beloved Fistful of Lead card mechanics are still there to drive the action, but now each card controls a unit, rather than one soldier.  How many units, you ask?  How many cards are in a deck, my friend?  Yep.  You can play 52 units on a table!  That is a bigger battle.

In most games, each player can control up to 5-6 units and their Commanders and Heroes without much trouble.  Games can have up to 8 players without slowing down the game.  Now, you can dig out all your old miniatures gathering dust and have a game ready to go in a few minutes.

Experienced wargamers and new players alike will enjoy this game.  Bigger Battles is perfect for convention games and just one-on-one contests.

Excellent, I've got my PDF copy and look forward to your UK stockist getting the hard copies in!

I may well break the WWII figures out at the weekend.

Can you tell me about unit size and composition? For example are there restrictions on mixing weapon types in a unit, is unit size dictated, etc?

As usual, we have provided a toolbox. We offer suggestions, but unit sizes can be whatever you want. I tend to stick to 10-12 miniatures for pre-Modern troops because it looks right and that's what most people I think have collected. For Modern and SciFi squads we tend to stick to 5-6 man units. Of course you can mix weapons.

That all sounds excellent. Thanks for the prompt response.  8)

Can you recommend a forum or thread (if one exists) where people might discuss the game?

Just start one in the appropriate board on the LAF. If it's the general rules and not period specific then perhaps the General Wargames Discussion Board would work.
