Title: The Pikeman's Lament - a look into an early copy of the new ruleset
Post by: Mattias on 21 January 2017, 10:03:04 AM

I was fortunate to recieve an early copy of the soon to be released The Pikeman's Lament from Osprey Wargames.
I've written a post giving a glimpse of what is to expect of this pike and shot ruleset.

One modification that I really enjoy is that activation is a touch easier to succeed with in The Pikeman's Lament than in the earlier Lion Rampant. A simple move activation is often passed on 5+ on two dice, with a further +1 on the roll if your Officer is close enough.

That is an excellent addition. When we played Lion Rampant we gave the Leader the special rule that allows a re-roll per turn to\ any unit within 12" (I can't recall what the Trait was called...). Leadership is important!
