The Bards Tale - A Large Game of Dux Bellorum
« on: May 27, 2019, 09:44:59 AM »
Last weekend on our trip up to Partizan at Newark a few of the chaps from the Devon Wargames Group called into Wargames Foundry to play a large game of Dux Bellorum.



We have found these rules are great for facilitating a large game with multiple players and the mayhem was added to with this fun scenario, 'The Bards Tale', which are included in the rules.

I like Dux Bellorum a lot as well.

Lovely looking game and a fine scenario.

Thank you chaps.

The rules are easily one of my favourite sets and the game rolled along really well for a large group of players.

Cheers

Wow! Always love a big Dark Ages battle. Really glad to see that this scaled up well for such a large game. I really like the way Dux B is written and played it a few times, but it never quite took off with me for some reason.  Looks like you’ve got the most out of it though. And that Bard’s Tale scenario is a good one.
