Crescent & Cross - Saga

[Eric the Shed]

Not too sure if folks are aware but the long awaited Crescent & Cross Saga rules plus dice are now available...just ordered mine

This will certainly be my 2015 project which neatly dovetails into my pulp desert adventures 

[Captain Blood]

Don't get me started Giles... I'm only just catching up with Saga

I'm thinking of getting this - we've had loads of games of Dark Ages Saga.

Only problem is fitting in the games - need more gaming time and less work!

I'm considering doing it in 10mm, with several figures on a 2p to represent a single 28mm figure.

[rumacara]

Yup.
Mine ordered too.
I´m doing 6 points crusaders in 20mm metal Tumbling Dice.

got mine the other day a really well done book !

I'm considering doing it in 10mm, with several figures on a 2p to represent a single 28mm figure.

I'm also cosidering using both SAGA and God of Battles for games with 10mm 'stands' (I'll start collecting a 10mm LotR Isengard armysomewhen after Christmas, I think).

Pretty sure I need C&C - besides historical gaming, it should be perfect for, for instance, Gondor versus Haradrim.

Hopefully I'm getting my copy this weekend.  Having converted my Perry crusaders to a Norman Dark Ages SAGA warband, they can easily slip back to their orignal function.  And finally I can now use my Perry Muslims which have sat on the shelf waiting for their moment in the spotlight.  Just a small matter of re-basing them (and re-painting them perhaps).

Got my copy yesterday. It is a great game as far as I read it. Very open for different warbands. But it is still SAGA.

[craig2]

But it is still SAGA.

What do you mean

[marcusluis]

no 28mm is the only true scale!!

[NurgleHH]

What do you mean

All these Rules in C&C are absolut simular to SAGA. Only some small mods for some factions. A new book with rules wasn't necessary, a book like northern fury would be enough.
But the book is very good standard (Hardcover, colour print, nice pictures).

When you know the Dark-Age-SAGA you can play it after 20 Minutes reading.

[craig2]

Ok, you're right. But it was necessary to clarify some rules and procédures.
I love the new book, very professionnal and nicely illustrated.

[axabrax]

My suspicion with this game is that everyone will want to play the Crusaders and Templars and very rarely will you find a Muslim opponent. I'm sure that world-wide this won't be the case, but here in the US that's pretty much what I'm expecting. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

[Eric the Shed]

Got mine today - very nice presentation. As has been stated they are very similar to Dark Ages

Looking forward to building my first Saracen army ! (mind you that will be in 2015 )

Me and another member of our gaming group already have large Araby armies - so a Saracen one is only a small step away.
