Dragon Rampant: Fantasy Wargaming Rules (Osprey Wargames)

Product Information

I initially thought the trap was closing quickly enough to catch all the Kislev units before they got too far onto the table, but by the mid-game they’d made surprisingly good progress (albeit by sacrificing their slower moving infantry!

Possibly, the risk of an immediate turnover is less of a problem with a two-player game (where it will tend to even out) than with more players (where you've got longer to wait). I have some painted orcs if your Rohirrim need some opponents, I have over 24 points worth ready to go, and that is without addition of any “fantastical” items. Embrace classic fantasy stereotypes: baby-eating ogres are fierce, elves are excellent archers, and goblins cackle as they ride their wolves over your corpse. In addition, I've found that its simple to add your own rules and modifications to the existing profiles.It was a very interesting game, swinging nicely one way and then the other as activations succeeded or failed. Keep the rules simple, streamlined and abstracted where appropriate: don't make players continually thumb through the rulebook. A casual friendly, yet tacticaly refreshing game that is more focused on manoeuvres and positioning than statistics optimization.

It may be less "realistic", but it beats sitting twiddling your thumbs in frustration for turns while your opponent empties a can of whupass all over you!Developed from the popular Lion Rampant system, Dragon Rampant is a standalone wargame that recreates the great battles of Fantasy fiction.
