hi all
I've been playing a fair bit of Sharp Practice 2 recently as I was lucky to get a few games in before the rules came out and I decided to see how far you could push the army creation rules and see if you could do something that was never thought about during the playtesting.
so I decided to see if SP2 could be used in a fantasy setting!!!
specifically I wanted to see if I could create army lists for an old favourite game of mine called Slaughterloo
Slaughterloo is a game that I have 100's of figures for. so over the last few days I've made a start on some lists and you know what it works. I've predominately stuck to the characteristics in the rule book but some of the armies have rules of their own (for example the Joccians have a Pipe band that causes shock against their enemies whilst removing it from Joccian troops)
what I've learnt though is just how flexible the army creation system is in SP2 and the fact it handled a whole host of very different troop types and allowed me to model them all is testiment to the rules themselves
Anyway I thought I'd share the lists on here in case anyone wants a look.
heres links to my blog pages where you can download the lists

I do intend to extend the lists with the other races very soon and am working with someone on the undead lists :D
cheers

Thanks for posting the links, Mike
I've a load of Flintloque figures which I use with other rule sets. It's good to see your lists for SP2.

I hope they are of some use, obviously its just my interpretation of the armies and therefore open to being tweaked

I'm collaborating with Mike on this.
I think Sharp Practice is a great set of rules and SP2 is better but I just can't be bothered with all the fuss of getting uniform details right so the Flintloque/Slaughterloo figures seems like a perfect fit to me. YMMV…
Strangely many of the gamers I've met in the past who were most insistent on getting uniform exactly right were perfectly happy using schoolbook stereotype tactics with their toy soldiers :(

We are (after all) gamers for one main reason - The Fun!

The freedom to be as accurate as you like with Flintloque is great.
Sometimes, I take great joy in researching uniform details. Other times, it drives me mad as I'll find several different references that just clash with each other!

Interesting stuff, I have loads of Flintloque figures but use the AA rules, so this is an interesting development for me.
