Wow-
Blast from the Past;
I have the First edition circa…Old. 1986?!? Can't comment on the 2nd ed,
but 1st ed was very playable,
If a trifle abstract.
Set a small wave through the design community; Pretty Good for an old school "indie" game.

The double-L was intentional, it's a carry-over from the 1980's edition. (I'm not affiliated with PI Games, just have heard the story) Chris |

Hi. If anything the second edition should be more playable, as it includes both optional elements from the original and those from the supplement, For A Few Miniatures More as standard parts of the rules. These extra bits include chariots, shields, barding, extended armor types, pikes and polearms, and engines. So instead of looking around for the special rules, you mostly just go down a list of modifiers for attacks and movement. The Advanced Game will add an ability-trait system when it is eventually released, so units can be further customized with applicable modifiers and special rules actually being part of their descriptions. This will pave the way for a fantasy setting. |
