It looked like a fun game. Thanks for posting the battle report. Have you played WFB, and if so how do you think it compared to Warahmmer Fatasy Battles? Which game system do you enjoy more?

Thanks Kevin, no, I never played WFB, but those who have says it has the same feel, but is better!

It looks like you used some cardstock for movement trays, under some of your units? How did that work for you? I would imagine it wasn't the easiest to move while keeping the figures on top of it? Just curious. I've used different materials over the years, and I tend to favor stiffer, harder movement tray materials. Cheers!

Hi Sgt Slag! – actually, on the cloth we use, the 2 thickness card worked remarkably well as it slid over the material without snagging! Another advantage was the base bent slightly on rougher parts of the table. All the figures are light plastic, I doubt they would work well with metal figures!
