Bery nice undead! I often play solo…sadly the holy grail for fantasy mass battles has not been discovered. At least not by me.

Thanks!

I really like WoE, but it is more 'grand skirmish' than massed battle (I think it could be easily adjusted for rank-and-file battles, though, the rules are flexible enoght that a few additions could make that work).
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

You really went all out in the room decoration! That must have been a cool room for a kids party.

My daughters are actually 19 and 16, but the trick'n'treaters who found our house were invited in and given candy from the bowls on the dining table. We even had a group of young Ukrainians attending.

Brilliant models, I'm enjoying reading about your WoE campaign. Any further thoughts on the rules? I really like the sound of them, but found the rulebook a slog to read through.

I think they are some of the best 'large skirmish' rules I have played. I like the relative simplicity and the fast gameplay - and the very flexible unit-building which allows a handful of minis (5 infantry, 3 cavalry) to be fielded and then augmented one mini at a time.

One the tallest hurdles for me when playing anything but 'small skirmish' is the number of minis to be painted for a new unit to be fielded, and 3-5 minis hit just that sweetspot where it is not a chore.

Another good thing is the resources at https://thisgaminglife.uk/ - even the points system fleshed out, so you can build any list you fancy.

I also think that WoE can easily be adapted to massed rank-and-files unit battles, just by adding some simple rules, but I have not played around with my ideas for that just yet.

Thanks, they are certainly more colourful than most of the host, but I think the models call for this ancient/classical/bronze age style.
