Brink of battle "horror/Cthulhu theme" AAR
« on: 21 January 2013, 12:02:41 PM »
Another (better organized) game trying out the new horror traits for Brink of Battle was played this weekend down at the club. 400 points per side and one side playing an evil Cthulhu cult and the other side playing a militia of stand up members of the local community. (Also snapped a couple of pictures of a Medieval themed game).

Check out the full aar and a bunch of pictures from the game over at my blog:

Great looking game!
Will you test an adaptation of the rules to the 18th C. as you did for 'Strange Aeons'? You have the miniatures, the rules, the experience... ;)

@Abdul, I posted an answer on the blog but there isn't much to adapt really as the game is a "toolbox" of its own allowing players to create any historical period (and now add fantasy, sci fi and most recently Horror themes to their games).

You can check out a couple of French & Indian War themed Brink of Battle games I have played in the past if you click on the French & Indian War category on my blog :-)

You can also go and download the 'ashcan' version of the Fantasy supplement.  That will give you access to some racial traits, new gear, and some magic. 

@Alex, you can use the Days of Reckoning campaign pack for rules that has the newly modified Abomination traits etc. 

And your pics look great, as always!
