Lion Rampant appears to be similar in scale to Saga--what are the differences? |

Enjoyable read, thanks for sharing. We've found Lion Rampant to be a fun rule set. |

Yes, the Viking force does seem to be the right size for a ship's crew--a good size force for a raid. Grelber |

Lion Rampant appears to be similar in scale to Saga--what are the differences? The battle board is the big difference. Lion Rampant is a very straight forward game. Saga has the battle board which adds another dimension to the game. |

Lion Rampant appears to be similar in scale to Saga--what are the differences? Figure count is roughly the same (50-80 minis per side seems to be the gaming "sweet spot" these days), they are both activation based IGO_UGO systems although in LR a player's turn ends when he fails a activation (a lot of people ignore this rule) and in Saga activation is limited by how you use your special Saga dice. The Saga Battleboards are really what makes the system unique. A player places rolls a number of dice and places them on sections of the battleboard that dictate how many, and which, units he may activate or special abilites he may use. Faction specific "flavour" is created by the special abilities on the battleboards as each faction has access to three unit types and a warlord. Similarily, in LR there are types of units (although more of them) that everyone has access to, and an upgrade or two can be purchased for most units to create flavour/variety. As in Saga each faction is led by a Warlord who has a personality trait that is determined randomly and can be a negative. |
