Hi, gentlemen: Iīve recently purchased the ruleset Swordpoint, but I hardly found some battlereports or reviews in this site (and in the Web) I think the rules are magnificents; our gaming group are moving from WAB to Swoprdpoint: same basic mechanics,but less dice rolls and reduced random in the result. I like the Line of Battle rule! Thank for reading! |

WAB of course was based on the Warhammer system which constrained what Martin could do with it. And a great job he did with WAB2. Here he has a free hand to do what he likes. |

Thank you, VVV. I knew the link and two or three other reports, but it seems strange (to me) that we canīt find more battlereports, here, or in youtube, with these rules. |

The locals got a few copies, ran a couple games, but came up a solid "meh" and are on to trying something else. Hail Caesar and DBA are still popular with the lads. |

I play Swordpoint and enjoy it very much. You are right that there isn't currently a lot of online 'hype,' but you can find battle reports and discussion at the Swordpoint forum on the Gripping Beast web site. There is also a fan-based Facebook page that is quite active. |

I had a go on the playtest table at Salute and was reasonably impressed by it; however it seemed to offer a very similar playing experience to Hail Caesar and being very satisfied with that I'm not sure I'd have a compelling reason to change horses, as it were. Then again, a single demo game isn't conclusive, and there may well be something in there I'm unaware of. |

Theophanes I hope you and your group are still enjoying Swordpoint. There is a very good battle report and review at this player blog site: link |

Only played it 2 or 3 times but so far it looks very good. I might have missed some of the finer points but it looks as if I finally found a ( mass army) rule set that feels right. |

I honestly have never heard of it. Having said that, I'm pretty set in the rules I like so don't really see the need to change to something else. I have WAB, Impetus,, Lion Rampant, and Dux Bellorum and those work well for all my ancients gaming needs. V/R |

I am really enjoying playing Swordpoint. I feel it has some very interesting nuances and unique mechanics that make game play very interesting. The Momentum mechanic adds a nice bit of Fog of War and it can swing the outcome of a battle. |
