Phew  :)

Thanks again for the great feedback. The battle would have been a deal quicker if I hadn't kept stopping to take photos I must admit, so thanks to Steve for his tolerance!

Definitely worth taking lots of pics. Great inspiration and looks to have been a scrumptous game too.

A tasteless sweater with clouds and hills in the design is not 'a scenic backdrop'  ::)

Captain Blood said: "We’ll be launching these onto the market soon under the title ‘Dux Inarow’ and they will retail at £49.95 between hard covers with 800 pages of army lists and sumptuous photographs, as well as special laser etched dice (although we should point out that the rules themselves will still only run to two pages)"

The scary part is I would actually consider buying these if filled with pics of your minis/games. 

Always a pleasure seeing your work.
This is my boomstick!

Will we be able to get our grubby little fingers on these rules at some point?  The size of your battle is exactly what I am looking to game (large skirmish), and looks lovely to boot!  :)

I expect Silent Invader might make his patent rules available at some point...  ;)
Just need to work out how to expand them from 2 brilliant pages into 100 pages of padding, photographs, waffle and bullshit to justify a properly exhorbitant price tag  :D

(Sorry, as you can probably tell, I have something of a downer on the current trend for profiteering from big fat glossy rulebooks!  :))


Thanks to all for the comments. Rematch in a few weeks!

I would really welcome a set of rules that fits onto two pages.

It would mean that you could actually play a game rather than
a) feel like you are revising for an examination.
b) spend hours preparing the game by bookmarking pages
c) spend half of the game trying to find that special rule clarification that you are sure that you saw somewhere.

Thanks for the interest in the rules.   :)

This was the first time they had been played and were tweaked as we went along plus a few more tweaks soon to be made.

No doubt will make them available* after the next battle royale, which should include some cavalry on cavalry action, which is something we didn't get to test before.

 :D

*That's the two page b&w PDF for free, rather than the full colour coffee table edition with swoon-worthy photography!  lol

Will there be a limited edition free figure available only with the full colour set?
