I was watching television on Sunday night and as I flicked across the channels one scene leapt to my attention – an aerial view of the Alamo! I was able to...
Actually, we based it off the historical plans - but then again, so did the film makers ;) Incidentally, if my movie trivia serves me well, the old John Wayne ...
Awesome! I'll save my pennies. :-)Jon Christenson"I think the mistake a lot of us make is thinking the state-appointed shrink is our friend." -Jack Handey To:...
A very good movie set then. I was looking at the Osprey book on ACW fortifications in Ballymena on Saturday, very tempting though the one on frontier forts...
... Or ... you can have a go making your own. An excellent site regarding the Alamo is here: http://www.thealamo.org/main.html For detailed plans of the...
I agree with steve, build your own, which i am in the middle of doing, you can see some pics in the photo's section, I am using 20mm plasic figures on a scale...
(I've also posted the following at the Lead Adventures forum) So, during my lunch break I popped into my FLGS. I asked about local players and the guy behind...
What do you mean by "lower tiered posses"? AFAIK, that is not a term that is found in the rules. The posses are all designed to be balanced, if that's what...
I'm sorry, I can't get my mitts on the rulebook yet, but I'm trying to find out how the campaign plays out. Does it come down to some posses building up to a...
I have played Mordheim extensively. The LotOW campaign system is an adaptation from the one in those rules. Yes, posses (like warbands) can get really tough....
There is a rule in the book to allow re-rolls for the player that is weaker (based on the infamy of the posses). I'm not quite sure it goes far enough to help...
... I think the issue is that once one or two posses get very strong, there's no way for the weaker posees to beat tham, so the players lose interest. There...
... I agree. Bloodbowl has a similar system. Teams with lower ratings can freeboot players, get extra re-rolls, etc. I thought that GW would have moved some...
Or just make the stronger posse have some of their guys on "vacation" so that the infamy rating is within 5% or 10% of the weaker posse. This way the stronger...
... on "vacation" so that the infamy rating is within 5% or 10% of the weaker posse. ... balanced games. ... I have yet to play a campaign in LOTOW but this is...
I've done something similar with only 3-4 random guys per side in a fight in LoToW and found it works well. We had a couple of random locations for such...
I've been quietly following this thread with some interest. We found this "problem" some time age when we started playing on a regular basis. Our group of...
I have just bought Showdown and got thinking about other gaming periods. Is there any plans to bring out a WW2 suppliment in the furure (like The High Seas)?...
Hello, I have recieved a copy of Showdown and would like to know if anyone has done some "house" rules for WW2 gaming? Is WH Historial going to produce any...
... WHH are working on a WW1 rule set for release sometime this year. AFAIK it is based on 40K rules and was demoed at GDUK last year. I belive there will be...
Thanks Terry. It would be great if there was a small section on WW2 gaming in that WW1 book. Probably too much to ask for. Pardon my ignorance, but what is...
... As Far As I Know - a regular qualification on my input. Terry _________________________________________________________________ Get Hotmail on your mobile,...
Paul, As mentioned there is a WW1 on the way, and I know there is a proposal that was sent in to do a WW2, but that is way off on seeing it in print let alone...
I had a look at the French site for LotOW/WW2 version, as you may noticed that its for the Colonial era, WW1 and WW2. The usual Cowboy Posse is replaced by the...
My roommate and I have been using the LotOW ruleset and the modifications provided on this forum for French and Indian Wars for American Revolution wargaming....
... We used the Warhammer Ahoy! rules (which are available free online) for ship to ship combat, in conjunction with LotOW - doubtless the ship rules in...
