Rules Regularly Played - Clan War

A horde of demons had been terrorizing a local village, and the humans in the area had all fled. The demons were beginning evil rites to summon their master, when the scene was charged upon by the secretive newt-people of the nearby swamps. It was a medium sized battle using Clan Wars rules and all Warhammer miniatures. [15 Sep 1999]

Well, I've said tons about Clan War already. Why go on and on? It's about as good as it gets (at least until our group gets Demonworld!) [14 Aug 1999]

Was my first game of Clan Wars. Went kinda wierd, but still MUCH better than WHFB. Im getting into the game shortly, and Chronopia as well.. [8 Jul 1999]

Huge 6mm battle (Undead VS Arabians) using DBM with fantasy rules add-ons, lasted about half a day (1200 pts per side). [23 Apr 99]

A game of Clan War at a local game store. It was a basic game with the units from the boxed set. We each had a unit of unaligned archers and unaligned infantry. I had the Crab Clan personality that comes with the box and my opponnent had the Crane Clan personality. It was a very close game. I lost because of a rash of bad dice rolls with my archers on one turn. I did no damage and the archers were spent for a turn because of the tactics card I played on the unit before they attacked. A very enjoyable game with excellent miniatures. [16 Apr 99]

We fought a multiplayer battle with 6 players and 6 different armies having 3 armies to a side. I used my Samurai army supported by a few Bakemono and Oni. The other armies included dwarves, elves, undead and other humans (medievals). Game lasted about three and a half hours with the dwarves, elves and undead defeating the three human armies. Yes I lost. [7 Apr 99]

Interesting battle between Crab and Lion clan forces. The Lion seemed to have made an initial mistake with placement of their yari (spear) unit, as it was way out on a flank and away from the main battle. The Crab placed their heavy infantry unit supported by archers on the hill behind, facing the Lion heavy infantry. The Crab put a unit of yari men in pursuit of the lion, and as the lion were trying to move toward the heavy infantry units, a fleet footed Crab were closing on them from behind and managed to charge them in the rear. The Lion held together, managed to turn to face their attackers, and used the strength of their superior formation to push the Crab spearmen back. Unfortunately, their nerve broke and they headed for the reaar and were cut down by the Crab spears. When the Lion Heavies managed to destroy in detial the Crab Heavy Infantry, they were facing heavy fire for two turns from the Crab archers before they could engage and their own archers had quite the field. A fun, well balanced battle that came down to placement and tactics, plus a bit of lucky rolling :) [29 Mar 99]

My last game of Fantasy Rules was a nail-biter that I won in the last few turns. My Hill Dwarf army came out of the hills to challenge a Roman army with Egyptian allies. Though neither of us took the terrain objective, it was a bloody fight, highlighted by a line of his bowmen fighting off all manner of attacks for turn after turn, including killing an earth elemental singlehandedly. But my sturdy, environmentally friendly dwarves triumphed in the end, despite having their battleline broken up by bowfire, magic and flying heavy cavalry. [27 Mar 99]

A great game of ClanWar. The upper hand in this

battle moved back and forth as tactic and counter tactics were played, and ended in a (slight) loss for my forces.

The great thing about ClanWar is that the playing matters, the game isn't decided by the time you finish picking your forces. Fantasy for grown-ups. [26 Mar 99]

My Dragon army slaughtered a hapless Crab army. The Ise Zumi led the attack by flying across the field to engage and destroy the only Crab archer unit. [24 Mar 99]

Played Clan War - 1500 koku, Shadowlands (me) vs. Dragon.

I made a bunch of mistakes, that almost cost me the battle, except my Goblin Chuckers had managed to overrun both his archer units, and the scores ending up tying. [23 Mar 99]

15mm Fantasy Rules! clash between Chipco's Lizard Man army pack and some Essex Normans. This game plays exceptionally well in 15mm, with lots of room to maneuver and plenty of troop types on the table. Fast, fun. DBA players interested in fantasy should give it a look. [18 Mar 99]

I run Demos for Clan War at conventions and game stores - while you don't get much in-depth strategy out of a demo, you do get some amusing demonstrations. The best was the last survivor of a Heavy Infantry until that was left facing a full unit of Medium Infantry - in true Samurai style, he proceded to hold out and nearly wipe out the entire opposing unit before they finally killed him. [17 Mar 99]

We've started playing Clan War, which I only bought three weeks ago. We loved it, but aren't into it yet as painting Samurai armor can take time. :) Lots of good things about this system. Soon I will order the historical ruleset put out by, and to be used with, Two Dragons figures (which I also own). [17 Mar 99]

Skaven vs dwarves. Warhammer scenario the Skaven won [17 Mar 99]

Played a 2000 koku game of Clan War in a touranment and took 1st Place. An important factor in my vicotry was superior manueverability and that I was able to flank my opponent, denying him rank bonuses and giving my flankers "to hint" bonuses. [14 Mar 99]
