With regard to Field of Glory: Ancients, which version of the rules do you currently play?

TKindred Supporting Member of TMP12 Jan 2017 10:26 p.m. PST

I don't. I only know of one individual who plays FoG, and he only runs games at conventions and gaming days.

Too "fiddly"and cumbersome for my tastes.

The first edition. I get in 2-3 games a year.

tyroflyer213 Jan 2017 12:20 a.m. PST

2 – probably a dozen games a year

V1 with additions from V2 gleaned from internet sites. We couldn't get a V2 book.

We'll see what V3 has to offer but the plan is to probably upgrade if/when they release something.

none, hate it

V1. Don't really like it, but have it if someone wants to play it.

vexillia13 Jan 2017 2:50 a.m. PST

None. Stopped when they released v2.0.

v2, when I play it, but we've switched over to 'To the Strongest'. Much faster and less fiddly.

Wilf1235813 Jan 2017 5:45 a.m. PST

v1
Maybe a dozen games a year down the Club, with half a dozen participants. Either points or scenario-driven engagements.
v2 passed us by.

Cheers,
Wilf

Only own the 1st ed book.

Calculon13 Jan 2017 6:18 a.m. PST

I use v2, but the few FoG players remaining at my local club mostly have v1, and most didn't even know there was a v2!

skinkmasterreturns13 Jan 2017 7:40 a.m. PST

v1.

Lascaris13 Jan 2017 8:15 a.m. PST

V2, getting back into ancients so I anticipate quite a few games with it this year.

Saurocet13 Jan 2017 8:34 a.m. PST

We play V2.

Play about 4 times a year. It's tough to get a group of players together more than that. Therefore, we play mostly historical scenarios. Designing historical scenarios and painting up miniatures for it is a solo sport, which gives us "hobby time" in between games.

We like V2 – bought the books when they eventually came out. We like the "fiddly-ness" when designing historical scenarios – gives lots of options and ideas for scenario specific rules.

Two games Ver1.0 years ago…. then nothing since sums up my FoG experience. Haven't seen or heard of a game in SoCalif since then on the gaming circuit.

mckrok Supporting Member of TMP13 Jan 2017 1:50 p.m. PST

v2

coopman13 Jan 2017 9:17 p.m. PST

none

Berthier213 Jan 2017 9:19 p.m. PST

Last tournament was V2 but play testing V3 now.

keyhat14 Jan 2017 10:04 p.m. PST

Version 2, haven't seen anything better since it was released. There have been several faster playing, simpler rules sets come along, but nothing as nuanced or as detailed. ADLG comes closest, but I prefer FoG v.2

John the Greater15 Jan 2017 9:28 a.m. PST

v 2 or FoGR about once a month.

Vespasian2817 Jan 2017 4:00 p.m. PST

V2 15-20 times a year.
Will probably pass on V3 as it seems to be only about speeding up the game for competitions.
