Title: Historical rules that could be a base for fantasy games
Post by: workerBee on August 20, 2013, 02:02:47 PM

A little different but I always believed a good set of historical rules should be able to handle (at least low to middle power magic) fantasy gaming.

What would you suggest would be good rules that reward medieval to Renaissance style war games that I might "add on" some form of fantasy elements?

Mostly I am thinking good rules that allow me to model fantasy races with traits of forces already in the historical rules.

Gracias,

Glenn

Thats exactly my thinking.
Im using Hail Caesar for my Norse mythology themed games.

Vikings, trolls, gnomes and such.

What sort of games were you thinking of?

For battles, you could use Dux Bellorum, with race traits and magic being covered by the strategies.

I also like the LOTR skirmish game, easily adapted to other systems and there is already some magic in the original game.
