Scott Mob well coincidentally enough it's inspired by playing the battles in the computer wargame Napoleon Victory & Glory (which is a very good game btw) and the card wargame of Birthright (more loosely).
Gus L it's scalable. Assumption is mostly like BTA so 5:1 ratio units of 20-80 and 20:1 units of 80-320. But since it's abstracted if can go lower or higher. The big variable is the effect of individual heroes, PCs and monsters. Still need to adapt that from BTA (and tweak). I think I'm going to abstract magic like BTA and add the stratagems from one of my drafts.
So we are playing the Feral Shore next week (I really want to commit to getting back going forward in this year with the eventual retirement of Revoca). Here is the recap and update y'all wanted (the linked piece being an updated version of my previous update, make sure to read the stuff here in this post). Recap The Feral Shore is currently three months behind Revoca in the space/time continuum. Players can take the opportunity now to conduct a week of downtime activity before the session next week. (Some sites in the Weird bend time so I am not going to overworry integrating the two play groups.) What Happened Last Session and During Downtime: 1. The party killed Milos the creepy hedge wizard of the Deermen in the wooded river basin to your west. Total treasure hauled out (and this was never posted) from furnishings and ancient coins totals 3,100 gold suns and a collection of three filigreed and magically-balanced spent-uranium throwing axes (+1 and an additional 30' of ran...
So with the random murder of the entire badgerman patrol plus plans to commit ethnic cleansing (again) now that negotiations have been utterly torpedoed, I'm starting to feel like we've shifted gears from being inspired by The Eyes of the Overworld to like King Leopold's Ghost or something. And while I can see the dark humor in the entire business, it's really not what I want to stay up late playing through.
This for the war game

ReplyDeleteHow many "models" in a square - assuming a unit is a square - 5,10?
