Noble humans battle the moldering undead as we play the Age of Fantasy Skirmish miniatures game from One Page Rules. #BattleReport #OnePageRules #miniaturewargaming
As folks have pointed out, the "fatigue" rule is applied incorrectly in this video. But hey, at least I was consistently incorrect! At any rate, I hope that doesn't spoil the narrative for you. Cheers!
Hi Pat. Lynn will return. She’s on the road this week. Glad you enjoyed the vid. The editing is very time consuming, which is why most folks don’t do it. Can’t say I blame them, but it does make for a cleaner video.
@@oldhammered Malcion proved to powerful so the council of mages had to do something to stop him slamming other spell casters in the wizard battle circuit.
You made this fun to watch and very easy to understand too. Very interested in finally playing with these rules with its fun and engaging alternating turn and also playing Conquest with its card system.
I'm quite new to wargaming and skirmish battle games. I love the idea of this game but I have the feeling minis are just flying of the table ! Anyway I can't wait to try this with my son. Warcry had I little to many rules for him when we tried last week. Even though he had the time of his life playing with mini's!
Absolutely. There's a "miniatures agnostic" group that meets at Heart of Gold every second Tuesday from 6-9 pm. Next one is scheduled for June 21. Everybody's welcome.
I'm pretty sure he was from the humans army list, but I just checked and I don't see Power Maw listed as a spell anymore. Maybe they updated the spell list?
I don't remember the specifics from that game (it was back in 2022), but I do know the AoF rules have been updated a few times since then, and some of the older spells aren't on the current spell lists. Presumably some of the army lists have been updated as well.
That is Melkion from the Griffon faction. He was in one of the unit boxes. Can't remember which one. Here's a loose Melkion on eBay: www.ebay.com/itm/265836941530?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lcNKGmIaQlS&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=J7ppHM06TSq&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I’m a a huge fan of Warcry. Great models and about as “cost effective” (not really) as a GW game can be. Do you have any experience with Warcry and how do you feel they compare?
Hey there. We built our Warcry terrain from the original box set, but never actually played a game. Too many things competing for our attention I guess.
Great game and lovely models.... However a woeful understanding of the "fatigue" rule which reads as follows in page 11 of the basic rulebook.... "After attacking in melee for the first time during a round either by charging or by striking back, units only hit on an unmodified rolls of 6 in any subsequent melee until the end of the round" So what you have in every round is units hitting once only on their quality and then on a 6 for every attack after. This way you can send in trash units to fatigue an enemy and then follow it up with a heavy hitter who will only be hit back on a 6.... Defence dice are not affected in anyway.
i like the idea of having both sides use a wizard as their sole hero. could be fun to limit list building to force include one since usually theyre too expensive
Really enjoying your content and always get pumped when i see there's an OPR game uploaded. Malchion deserves a beer! Just to check though... I think the Fatigue affects the unit's ability to Hit and not Defend. Also, when those Skellies charged into those Spears, they needed to take a Dangerous Terrain test like the Werewolf did. But what a great narrative game nonetheless. Can't wait to see more!
Hi Desmond. I think you’re right about fatigue. I got that reversed. Plus I forgot about phalanx toward the end of the game. Oh well. We do what we can. Glad you enjoyed the vid.
hey! didn't know you were northern Colorado based! we are trying to get a community going in the Greeley fort Collins area! we would be honored to have you play some games!
Hi Andrew. Yep, we're about 90 minutes south of you. That's a little bit of a haul for us, but hey, anything's possible. We have a small group that meets twice a month in Longmont. If you want, send me an email and we'll get you and your friends on the email list. Maybe there's an opportunity to coordinate some larger gatherings at a convenient halfway point or something. Cheers!
Great video! I want to know the differences between the free book (AoFS - Basic Rulebook v2.16) and the paid version of the book. Is it worth buying it?
You get extra missions, optional actions, random events, rules for command points and critical hits, stuff like that. If you join OPR’s $5 Patreon, you get access to all the OPR full rule sets, plus other things. So yeah, I’d say it’s worth it.
@@oldhammered This week Games Workshop gift the complete Compendium (40 Warbands +800 units) and the next week realease the New Core Rules Book. If you have minis can play Warcry 2.0.
I love how OPR matches almost always end up as close games, with both sides losing most units by the end of the last round
not if you were playing against last editions robot legions! those guys were bonkers

I'm loving these. Love the tight editing. Lot of other battle reps could take a cue from that. Miss Lynn though, the banter is always great.

Power bomb...now all I choose to imagine is Malcion wearing Macho man shades and going "OH YEEEAH!" after slamming the necromancer into the ground.
Yeah. Unfortunately the spell was removed from later AoFS lists. Too powerful I guess.
@@oldhammered Malcion proved to powerful so the council of mages had to do something to stop him slamming other spell casters in the wizard battle circuit.
Thank you for always sharing these games!!
Really appreciated the way you explained the fight helps also as a tutorial. Gracias!
You bet. Unfortunately the fatigue rules are used incorrectly in this video, so take it with a grain of salt.
I am not sure, but I think fatigued units can only hit on a 6. That would make a lot of the retaliatory strikes way less deadly.
You are correct. I had the fatigue rules reversed in my head that game.
Old Confrontation models, nice.
You made this fun to watch and very easy to understand too. Very interested in finally playing with these rules with its fun and engaging alternating turn and also playing Conquest with its card system.
Hail! Malkion the Hero!
Clicked for the Confrontation models.

Great bat rep. Hope to see more love for OPR. I’m really looking to play more.
Good video, great narration, and good editing!
great batrep
Awesome video can't wait to more
Great stuff love this game. It let me use the bretonnians that got me into this hobby that I never was able to play
Blue trees are worth fighting for
LOVE it
Love it man! May I ask where did you get those awesome trees??? Thanks mate
Hey Alejandro. Those trees are from Monster Fight Club. Highly recommended.
@@oldhammered thanks man!!
Thanks ))) Great Report! Looking Forward to More ))) 💎⚡️🦅
Longmont? So close? I'll have to come by and play with you guys!
Absolutely. There's a "miniatures agnostic" group that meets at Heart of Gold every second Tuesday from 6-9 pm. Next one is scheduled for June 21. Everybody's welcome.
Activations were done out of order as well. The undead should have gone first in all subsequent turns since they finished activating first.
I have never played these rules, but wouldn't the wizards spell be -1 to hit with the necromancer behind a rock.
Question, where did you get those trees from? I am assuming 3d printing?
Those are physical trees, with changeable canopies, from Monster Fight Club.
This is awesome, I'm new to war games and was wondering what army book you use for that wizard???. Great video.
I'm pretty sure he was from the humans army list, but I just checked and I don't see Power Maw listed as a spell anymore. Maybe they updated the spell list?
What armys' stats are you using? I can't find any of the units or spells on the fantasy rosters.
I don't remember the specifics from that game (it was back in 2022), but I do know the AoF rules have been updated a few times since then, and some of the older spells aren't on the current spell lists. Presumably some of the army lists have been updated as well.
WHERE DID YOU GET THE WIZARD FROM? NOT SEEING HIM REFERENCED IN ANY AGE OF RAGNAROK PICS.
That is Melkion from the Griffon faction. He was in one of the unit boxes. Can't remember which one. Here's a loose Melkion on eBay: www.ebay.com/itm/265836941530?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lcNKGmIaQlS&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=J7ppHM06TSq&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
@@oldhammered Thanks my friend. I just ordered it. Love that fig.
Awesome. I’m glad that worked out.
The model count of aof skirmish seems a bit on the high side
3:37 Hey, I know that evil tree by the walls! That's from a Horrorclix starter set, right?
Affirmative. Good eye.
What faction was the werewolf from?
The unit is from the Vampiric Undead list. The actual figure is from the Rackham Confrontation Wolfen faction.

Hey there. We built our Warcry terrain from the original box set, but never actually played a game. Too many things competing for our attention I guess.
Which army book did you use to make the undead army?
I believe that was the Vampiric Undead.
@@oldhammered thank you 😁
As an Android user where can I get the army forge app???
Hi Ben. You can find the link on the One Page Rules website.
Where did you get those trees?
Those are from Monster Fight Club.
@@oldhammered awesome thanks
They are a different color from the ones sword n steele reviewed... and they seem slightly different.
The tree canopies are available in different colors. You can swap them out or remove them entirely.
@@oldhammered nice, its been a while sine I got mine, ill ho take another look, thank you for taking the time to respond!
Yay finally. I hope to see more OPR (especially fantasy)
Great game and lovely models.... However a woeful understanding of the "fatigue" rule which reads as follows in page 11 of the basic rulebook....

Hi Sven. Yep, I had the fatigue rule reversed in my head. This happens to me on occasion.
@@oldhammered no worries.. it is a remarkable change on the core system.... Excellent videos however so no complaints.

@@oldhammered keep up the good work buddy. Got my eyes peeled for the next one...!
So humans won by running away and some magic.
Love it. How big was your board? How many points?
Hi Fred. That's a 3x3 mat. I think the teams were about 260 points each.
Very enjoyable thanks for sharing this
Cool battle report. I would like to see more Age of Fantasy Skirmish. Are the trees 3D printed?
Hey there. Those trees are from Monster Fight Club. They make great stuff.
Great video! Keep 'em coming!
Such a beautiful table!
Those trees look great! Where are they from?
Those are from Monster Fight Club.
@@oldhammered Thanks, I was hoping they were printable digital files. Great video too, I've just started getting into one page rules.
hey! didn't know you were northern Colorado based! we are trying to get a community going in the Greeley fort Collins area! we would be honored to have you play some games!

I think you forgot that undead have slow
I believe Zombies are slow, but skeleton soldiers are not.

@@oldhammered AoFS is better than Warhammer Warcry 2.0? If, yes. Why?
Sorry man, I don’t know anything about Warcry 2.0, except that AoFS is definitely cheaper.
