Well spotted John.

I’m not normally a fan of new editions as some companies seem to bring them out every 6 months to replace the ones that were released without adequate proof reading but in this case the original Lion Rampant was published in 2014 and has provided hours of fun.  I believe the 2nd Edition will include Dark Age Forces that appeared in an article in Wargames Illustrated.

I shall be saving my pocket money for a copy!

Mike

Thanks John. A good spot!

The crusades book is very nicely done and adds a lot of flavour to Lion Rampant.

Hopefully we can play them face to face one day!

Cheers

Mike

I returned to the club last Sunday after months of absence and it was great to be able to play again.

Having recently played at BIG and seen how they operate I would like to make an observation about the way we deal with Covid.

My impression on Sunday was of a very busy and crowded hall and I felt that social distancing was not being fully observed as people played and moved around the hall. I would respectfully suggest that to avoid any problems with the hall committee or of a more serious nature we all think about how we behave, particularly in light of the latest rule of 6 guidance.

Mike

Thanks Steve. Fully understandable.

Hope you both stay well.

There was also an article in WI 374 December 2018 ‘Bedford Beseiged - A Lion Rampant Seige Campaign’ by Dan Mersey. This gives a variety of forces for both Beseiged and Beseigers and a number of scenarios. The action takes place outside the castle walls so no large castle is required to play.

There was also a Dark Age adaptation by Dan Mersey - ‘Landwasters and Raven Feeders’ in an earlier WI but I don’t remember which one.

Cheers

Mike

Thanks for the update, John. I will be getting a copy (price permitting!) as it looks like a really good addition to the excellent Lion Rampant collection.

I did buy Outremer: Faith and Blood but it has a different approach and requires more paperwork creating and developing the characters.

Cheers

Hi Andy,

Alan, Howard, Nige and me have all been inspired by the YouTube videos and having joined in a demo game at Crusade I can vouch for it being an interesting and entertaining set of rules, as is usual with TFL products. We will be sticking with 28mm although Alan is going down the route of using Peter Dennis paper soldiers. Makes good sense for you to use 15mm if you already have plenty of them and no reason why the rules won’t work equally well.

Fingers crossed we will actually get to play a game at the club before too much longer.

Cheers

Mike

I have a copy of this game which is minus the Forces of Good figures but has everything else, including the rules manual still in its shrink wrapping.

Is there anyone out there who would be interested in making me a reasonable offer for this? The complete game costs £90 but can be bought for £70/75. Clearly there is a good saving by buying the box set as the contents, minus the Forces of Good, would cost over £130 at full GW prices.

Send me a PM if you are interested.

Thanks,

Mike

I did assemble my Sequitors but am never going to use them so happy to pass them on to a good home.

Tim? Or anyone else who might be able to use them?

Mike

A useful source of 13 plastic Miniatures ( 3 Sequitors and 10 Chainrasps), 6 dice and a clear plastic ruler for £2.99.

I am sure the figures could be retasked for KOW.

Mike

What else would any self respecting Forsaken Knight ride?

See you tomorrow.

Mike

1979?

Firstborn had just arrived so wargaming took a back seat for a while.
Up to then I had been playing a Western Desert campaign using 6mm tanks and WRG rules, and various board games including Diplomacy.

Hi John

Computers are a blessing and a curse.

I have emailed you my most recent copy of your DRAW document.

Cheers

Mike

Sounds intriguing.

Presumably the points cost of the monster is not relevant and it does not count as part of the 750 points?

Mike

Great link, John. Really interesting article.

Saw some of the pieces in Lichfield cathedral a couple years ago.
