Great rules and is the foundation for many other genres. So if you learn one they are all similar. I would say it is a "small" army game or a "big" skirmish game because you have units but you don't need a lot of models or units. Standard army size is 24 points which can vary in number of units but typically 4-6. And they work really well with multiple players because it is I-GO-U-GO rather than alternating activation. I highly recommend them and enjoyed your video!
We played this for quite some time great game. Good way to bust out your old miniatures. There were a few quality of life changes we made along the way. Changed the minimum distances to 1" as 3" is a bit too restrictive on some scenarios. Also playing a pitched battle is a good way to learn the rules but really you have to do the scenarios as its much more fun plus really stops any min/maxing. Scenarios in lion rampant can usually be used without adjustment so thats handy. We used to allow one activation reroll a turn whilst we were learning, to help game flow. Then we agreed the 'befuddle thee' spell was OP so we didnt use it. Anyway these are just suggestions love these osprey sandbox blue book games.
love this...one of my go-to army-size games and simple enough that i started playing with my son when he was 7. i do wish it had a bit more depth; i keep hoping for a second edition treatment like lion rampant received which allows it to expand with more special skills and spells. but even without that, it's a bargain. like most of my larger model count games, i make it work on a 60x44" tabletop or 48x36" in a pinch.
Thank you for going over the game. I am definitely buying a copy of the rulebook. Also, it's good to see that the Southern U.S. cousin of Bardic Broadcasts is also a gamer.
thanks for checking it out man! It has rapidly become my favorite army size game system. Im most likely going to grab the sci fi ruleset too. Xenos Rampant

I am so happy you covered this. I've had the book for ages and have wanted to play it for some time. Let's go!
let's go indeed my friend!
Fun game - I've actually played this one a few times.
We got in the first game a few days ago and had an absolute blast! I like it a LOT
