Re: Review of 2020 Games


 

My gaming in 2020 was limited to one game of COC, half dozen play test games of a new naval system on zoom and an almost monthly game of Roll20 DND.

Painting was very productive with me painting 250 more figures then I bought. Was a good year to reduce my lead mountain.

Stephen, I¡¯ve only played a single game but based on that I took an immediate liking to it. It has Lardy DNA that would make it familiar to anyone who¡¯s played IABSM or Sharp Practice. It is a little bit looser and allows room for player interpretation which might not be to everyone¡¯s liking, particularly if you prefer your rules a bit tighter. I think they work well as they are, but seeing that Rich has already been tempted to create a CoC variant that was published in one of the Specials I suspect it¡¯s a rule set he may want to revisit at some stage in the future, but for now I¡¯ll take them as they are.

They have all the usual ingredients - card driven activation, use of leaders (big men) are key to optimising unit performance, historical unit structure etc. One thing you might want to note is that they are really aimed at playing the later war from ¡®16 to ¡®18. They are very much focused on the tactical evolution occurring at the time.
