Title: Big Battle "Dominion of the Spears" play through.
Post by: brasidas19004 on 01 June 2025, 02:12:47 PM

I played two games using the Big Battle rules on p.29 in the Designer Notes.

Verdict: as an experienced gamer, I like the Big Battle version better.  It takes twice as long, but that was less than 10 minutes!  There are more decision points, which I like.

Also, if one adds more "depth" to the battle line Sectors, one gets to game the commitment of reserves. This is more historical and more interesting.

I also took the opportunity to introduce a "clash of Light forces" pre-battle phase. This worked nicely, and proved to be a simple way to introduce the Light Fight without them being either useless or over-powered.

I encourage you to give these a try - you'll never feel like your $6 was badly spent!
