Hamburg TACTICA / February, 25th and 26th 2012 - NEW PICTURES!!!!

[Mad Doc Morris]

Didn't notice a link yet, so here are another two galleries (with additional sites linked there) by Tankred who staged a spiffy Impetus game as well: LINK & LINK. Enjoy!

So, for those that ran games at Tactica, did the game go as you thought or did the players take you off in an unexpected direction (as seems to happen soooo often at convention games)?

Speaking for our Trojan War game: Since we weren't staging a simulation (don't think anyone there did) players were free in their decision making. With the mission cards given to each player we just tried to add a bit of flavour, both of the Mycenaean period and Homer's Iliad. So, on one (admittedly, extreme) occasion, after Achilles had been revealed he got killed by Hector. We didn't expect that, but it was a great moment - and that's what it should be all about me thinks.

Thanks Mad Doc. 

Finally my thirst for Tactica pics has been quenched.

thank you all for sharing the lovely pictures. was suprised to see a samurai battle using the Triumph & Tragedy rules. I wonder which adjustments they made.

close combat was limited down to two combat rounds maximum. After that the looser was either destroyed or driven back. I really like that rule.

And I know that miniatures with armour were given two hit points. So no modifications on the damage table were necessary

Maybe Green Knight - the presenter -  reads this thread and shares the other modifications he made !

Cheers
