Warhammer Historicals.. How Good Were They?

[Wellington]

I played WAB a lot and enjoyed the Historical Weekends in Nottingham, even the desatrous HYW Campaign (desatrous for the English and Allies)  . Some of the books were real jewels like the Age of Arthur and El Cid by James. Others like the Byzantine book were very unbalanced and the Charior Wars and Age of Chivalry were just terrible.

The WAB 2.0 Rules were a real improvemnt, but the old supplements didn't realy work with the new rules. But now WAB is realy outdated, IGOYGO rules and the full control over the army is much to 20th century. I no longer play it.

LOTOW and LOTHS were fun too, we played it a lot. Only the ship rules for LOTHS didn't work at all. Horrible!

Travalgar works well if you are not to pedantic concerning naval warfare, but I undsertand if people hate it. Its very similar to Black Sea from Warlords.
