There is an AAR of sorts for these rules on "Dougie's Wargaming Blog" on Youtube.  Although not a full coverage for reasons explained, it still gives some idea of how the system works, especially the activation mechanic which I have not seen before (and am unsure about TBH)

Exciting!

I just ordered a whole bunch of TAG miniatures in anticipation of the rules coming soon!

I received my copy today. On a cursory examination it appears very well produced, though the final dozen or so pages include game tokens, QRS, and roster sheets that one is apparently expected to cut out (judging by the dotted lines). This is my first experience of a PSC rule book, apart from Mortem et Gloriam, so I don’t know whether these are also available to download from the website. On my last visit, I certainly didn’t notice them but perhaps once the book is available to everyone these will be provided.

My copy arrived today! Huzzah! Looks interesting, going to read through it now.

CP the IV: my recommendation would be wait a day or two and some helpful bod will produce an mdf set of tokens/chits and make the whole thing more civilised (I can’t cut up a book). Certainly what I’ve done with every Battlegroup chit set and I’ve been very happy with them. Maybe PSC are missing out and should get someone excellent like Warbases to do mdf sets they can sell officially.

Thank you, Andrew. Having no Battlegroup rules - other than the original set published by Warhammer Historical - I had no idea what support PSC provides in terms of downloads but MDF chits would certainly be preferable to anything that has to be printed and mounted on card. It would also be interesting to see what some engaged manufacturer comes up with for the Gory Death chit.

Another Andrew.

I got my shipment notice today.  Now, patience is required  - which is not one of my strong suits.  Just ask Da Boss... ;)

The rather hackneyed title of the game troubled me initially. I pondered it for a while and concluded that the author must be a fan of Ted Chippington. ;-)



Interested to see people's reviews and get some sense of the playing dynamics. Hard to say from the video posted from above as it seemed that they were learning the game but I gained the impression that it was a system where the rules mechanisms are more obtrusive than I'd prefer.
