Just picked these up. Look interesting. Trying them on Thursday night. |

I know one thing I'd like is some context for how good a value is. Like, what is the combat value of say a fresh recruit vs a veteran? what's the average toughness of a human? And, so on. |

actually, is there anywhere that has generic unit profiles? I know making your own is half the fun, but it would be nice to have rough guide lines on what "average" could be. |

It would be nice to see a preview of sorts to see what this has over, say, A Song of Blades & Heroes. SBH is my go to skirmish game right now and it would be hard to supplant. |

it's got a similar fumble system to it, but they're a bit different at the moment. one thing I think is neat from skimming through the book is the psychological attacks. You can taunt a guy to come over to you, or you can enrage someone to give them a STR boost, but at a DEF penalty. which is kind of neat if you min/max a strong, but weak minded(mind is a stat in this game) will be vulnerable to a more strong minded opponent. So a crafty fighter could potentially just distract the big guy and locking him down. SBH has the advantage of having a smorgasbord of supplements to customize your game to your liking. |
