"Firebrand" Topic

I'm curious about rule changes for Firebrand. It says it introduces new rules for groups for larger armies, but I can't tell much about it yet. The description of the setting doesn't do anything for me. A PDF of $10 USD might be OK if it gave some nice adjustments to SoBH, but I can't really tell what they are.

I realize that if they were completely spelled out, there wouldn't be any incentive to buy the rules. But could we get a bit more detail on what these rules provide for those familiar with SoBH?

Don't know if this is a good place to ask, but it is one of the more familiar. I'll ask on SoBH forum if no one here knows.

thanks

The Yahoo forum for Song of Blades and Heroes would be best place to ask. There was a mini-review there and the author posts there.

Understand that it uses the SoBH engine, but the scale is different: "Each player controls a company. A company consists of all soldiers under a single player's control. A soldier is an individual under a player's control represented by a model on the tabletop."

I stand corrected. Looking at the rules they are very much on the same scale as SoBH, just with campaign material and a different fantasy background. The Campaign game looks good.

I pretty much bought FIREBRAND for the campaign rules. What appealed to me was the fact that the company captains were limited in troop selection by the territory they controlled, preventing the 'army a la carte' syndrome we so much in fantasy wargames…
