New Medieval rule set.... play testers wanted!!

[Legiocustodes]

Hello all;

Just a quick one that I was hoping some of you might fancy helping me out with! my name is Jamie Gordon...you might already vaguely recognise me as an occasional freelance writer for Wargames, Soldiers & Strategy magazine and a few other bits around the community.

Well after years of being involved in the hobby I have finally managed to secure a contract with Osprey Games to write a set of rules set during the early medieval period, needless to say I am chuffed about this and am currently busy penning these rules.

Essentially these will be designed to cover smaller scale skirmishes during the period in question with a few interesting additions.

Anyway I was wondering if any of you good people fancied volunteering to playtest the rules in beta form. This is a little way off yet; but I'd like a list of names so that I can get the game tested as soon as it is ready. Brutal and honest feedback would be greatly welcome!!

Just so you can get a better idea about my hobby perspective my blog can be found at: https://classicastartes.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1


So..... any willing volunteers!?

Cheers;

Sign me up. I have several boxes of painted medieval that I want to rebase, no-one I play with wants to do big battles.

Sounds interesting.
But don't Osprey already do a set of medieval skirmish rules - Lion Rampant?

PLEASE tell me it's not going to be another game with each side comprising just 5 or 6 models per side? PLEASE! Osprey are falling too much into that trap.

How do you envisage your rules differing from Lion Rampant? I don't mean in the mechanisms - I'm sure they will be totally different - but how will it differ in its scope, visuals, and appeal?
I know it's early days, but you must have some ideas from when you first spoke to Osprey.

I have to say these questions occurred to me as well. As the focus is early medieval, presumably there is going to be some aspect to the rules specific to this period; I am curious to find out what.

Thanks to all the volunteers who PM'd me over the weekend. I have added your details to my list.

As for the nature of the game I can't say too much at the moment; however I am able to confirm it is at the smaller end of the skirmish scale compared to rules like Lion Rampant.

I will be able to reveal more as the project progresses!

Awesome.
