On Bloody Ground – Sub-Roman Britain Pre-release now available!

Sub-Roman Britain is the fifth book in our series of period specific mass combat rulebooks, and we’re excited to say that it is with the printers now, and we should have physical stock by the end of January 2025.

Pre order here: https://www.wipgamesandminiatures.com/.../on-bloody-ground

All pre-orders are guaranteed to be posted out on the same day that we receive the new stock from our printers, which means that most will arrive well before the rulebook goes on general release.

Re-fight the heroic battles of Arthur and Merlin, or the infamous brothers Hengist and Horsa, to name but a few!

What’s in the book?

As with each of our previous rulebooks, Sub-Roman Britain contains the full rules for On Bloody Ground – Mass Combat, as well as a number of complete army lists for the period, along with period specific rules, weapons and armour.

Also included in this rulebook for the very first time is a brand new rule, which allows players to create their own balanced and pointed characters. This new addition gives almost unlimited options when it comes to recreating the heroes and characters from history in your games.

Sub-Roman Britain is priced at just £12.95 and has 54 pages full of common sense rules that provide both challenging and exciting games.

As our schedule of releases has now jumped to between 10 and 12 new releases this year, we’ll be covering many more periods and producing a ton of new army lists, which will allow players to join in and get started with the best historical mass combat wargame on the planet! (We’re still working on the proof to back that up!).

If there’s a specific period you or your gaming buddies would like to see covered by On Bloody Ground, why not let us know, and we’ll see if we can get it sorted sooner, rather than later!

Thanks for reading, and happy gaming!

This is a favorite period of mine. I like that this is an all in one book!
If I pre-order this and want to pick up others in the series can I have them sent in one package to minimize shipping?

Glad to hear that you enjoy this period!

If you want more books in single order it will definitely save you postage (you can check postage costs before going to the checkout on our website). The only thing I’d say is that we will only ship the whole order once stock arrives for this book.

Up to 2 books will be £4 postage in the UK  and anything more than that will be £5 maximum 

Hope this helps!

Thanks Dan.  I will order a couple together, and don't mind waiting.

Does the rule also allow for creating own units or is it only for special characters? Can army lists from the various books get set up against each other or are they rather not a good combo out of balance reasons or such?

Do you have some kind of list of what is planned at your side?

Hi Mikai, thanks for the questions.

For now we only have character creation options. I have helped someone create some units for a home game they wanted to play (via email) if you wanted to discuss anything particularly niche.

As for book vs book matchups, games should be balanced fairly well as points values are the same  across everything. We have played Vikings vs Caesarian Romans to test this out and it went very well!

As for future rulebook releases we tend to keep 2 months ahead. We do have more ideas for future releases, but haven't started any lists for those yet. We have also had lots of emails asking for certain periods, and all tend to be the 'popular' periods that people are waiting for to play OBG.

If you have any ideas of lists/periods you would like to see please let me know and we can look at releasing it in the future.

Thanks for your response! Together with your posts it gave me a good first insight.

To be frank, I am still not sure if I want to get into rankfile massbattle games, I am just to used to move around every single miniature at skirmish games. I however take a look around what's out there, trying to keep my mind open. As I play at a low fantasy setting with Dark Age miniatures, the Sub-Roman Britain release of yours is something which got me interested a bit. At some rulesets it is easy to replace the historic factions with others ones and that's the easier the more factions one can choose from. Hence my question about the book vs book matchups.
