Last week I promised that I would be
releasing both a Skirmish and Campaign supplements as free PDFs for
folks picking up copies of my mass battle rules By This Axe.
The good news is that that work is steadily on track. A working draft
of the skirmish rules are reasonably complete and poised for
playtesting.
Basically I have taken the mini-game
that handles duels in the larger battle system between strutting
champions and extrapolated a dice-pool melee system that allows you
to make individual tactical choices for warriors each combat turn.
The scale is downshifted from the 1:5 and 1:20 system of the battle
rules to a 1:1, unitless scale (though complemented by a simple
command and control system). They seem to work reasonably well in my
solo-testing for forces of 5-25 figures a side, but you know we will
see as we get further in.
Anywho if you have picked up a copy of
BTA (the draft rules will make very little sense if you don't have a
copy) and are interested in playtesting or just giving me feedback
drop me a line at kutalik at the gmail dot com and I will pleased as
the proverbial punch to send you a copy of the draft.
