Excellent commentary, Sarge! You've filled in the gaps of my earlier post. And I agree with your perspective. I still have a copy of BattleSystem by Doug Niles but I've never played it. It's hung on when other rules sets have been sold off due to the idea that there are good ideas in it that might be mined for my own home-brewed Massed Fantasy Miniatures rules set that I've been playing successfully since the mid-1980s. Very kitchen sink and Tolkienesque, my rules, the emphasis is on using whatever figures you've got and that units are more important than individuals, like a conventional pitched battle wargame, even allowing for the influence of generic fantasy individual champions like Wizards or Warriors, etc. It has also been my recent experience that few RPG gamers have any experience with or interest in miniatures games -- altho' some of the more broad-minded could be tempted to dabble in something friendly and semi-familiar like a skirmish-level wargame (try to start with Dark Ages/Medieval/Fantasy) -- encourage this and then slowly move into grander themes! |
