Another try at War and Conquest.

[scrivs]

After the England vs Costa Rica game on Tuesday evening Nick and I pitched the Almoravids against the Christian Spanish using War and Conquest.





A battle report with orders of battle, more commentary and a bunch of photos are on the Scrivsland blog

Nice!

Good one Scrivs....  .

I haven't even had had the opportunity to play one single game, I don't even own a copy!

Rob would not be happy

I like to look of your armies.
Very nice.
May I ask about your basing of figures.
The units sitting on movement stands,
 are their bases magnetic?

[scrivs]

Thanks chaps.

Darrell, I don't own a copy either, I rely on Nick reading them.

are their bases magnetic?

Yes, I use magnetic sheets on the bases and flex-o-metal on the movement tray.

  Ah...... worth buying do you think matey?

Yes, I use magnetic sheets on the bases and flex-o-metal on the movement tray.

It's a really great idea!

Much more colourful game than the England game and looked mor fun

Just did some googling; War and Conquest seem like the greatest rules that no one plays. What's up with that?

[Ray Earle]

Advertising.

They sort of came out without the fanfare of other pretenders to the throne of WAB. Bloody good ruleset though. 

[Vermis]

How close are the rules to WAB? In fact, how do they compare to WAB and HC, Scrivs? Doesn't seem to say on your blog.

[scrivs]

They are quite WAB like but with a few subtleties. I finally purchased a set today so will not have to rely so much on Nick in our next game.

Here is a link to a review on my blog that a lot of people apparently enjoyed reading so far.

It's a great review!

Like WAB, WAC builds up an army in units made up from individual figures that fight and die individually. This does not make it a skirmish game...

Well, it could, because grandaddy Warhammer FB was/is a skirmish game that piled up minis into units. One of the things that put me off it, and WAB.

I did hear about WaC and CoE when they were released, but wanted to get as far away from Warhammer as I could. I can't be having with individual casualty removal in a battle game, anymore...

So what rules do you use?
