Got this in the mail today:



I expect to use it as a bridge between Blood Eagle and SAGA/Dragon Rampant (it contains a points system for creating your own Gods, Legends, and Mortals).

Blood Eagle: Warbands of single models
OGAM: Units of 4-8 models
SAGA: Units of 4-12 models
Dragon/Lion Rampant: Units of 6 or 12 models (or fewer, if one uses the Reduced Models rules)

I am glad to see you have your hobby mojo back!
See? What did I tell you in the AFS thread last year??  lol

And you got OGAM... hmmm.
Will be interesting to hear what you have to say about that.
Im kinda... on the fence there.
I think OGAM has some really cool ideas and the theme is cool, obviously, but the mechanics seem crude to me.
As I said, will be interesting to hear your opinion.



Cheers!

Well, as for mechanics, OGAM is just SoBaH with units, and the deities add an extra layer of power to the heroes that could be used in that.

I don't expect OGAM games to be deep tactical experiences - simply too much power/magic/randomness going on for that, but for an easy pick-up beer-and-pretzel (actually mead-and-potatohips) game for some hours of fun where you can relax and play a couple of games in an overseeable amount of time, I think it will serve its purpose.

I also bought it because of the unit size (4-8 models), to have something in between individual model skirmish games and larger unit skirmish games to paint those few extra models for - but I have already unearthed and dusted off my Wargames Foundry Celt army, that I bought maybe 20 years ago for WAB, but never got started on, and I have planned both an OGAM force of Celts, and a Greek/Roman warband using some plastic WGF Caesarean Legionaires I have a box of + a few extra bits and bobs, so I think it also serves its purpose in regards of inspiration.

Are they on Ganesha's website or on the Yahoo Group?
