My comment around "unpredictability" was more around the movement of the troops as opposed to random events. I always knew what both sides were planning to do. Your idea of a group being "hesitant" based on certain cards is interesting. That's like the unpredictability of a real person who get's spooked for some reason or has a change of heart. I think I'll try that out. Thanks for making your rules public!Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16039318962064899079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8055167407407861889.post-51779832018939973472011-04-29T10:53:15.786-06:002011-04-29T10:53:15.786-06:00Hey Jerry, nice to see you had fun with the rules!...Hey Jerry, nice to see you had fun with the rules!<br /><br />Regarding groups, the rules state the max number of figs is 10, but you can change it for scenarios. For example I played a small scenario recently where I simply split groups by troop type. If you have a battle where some uruks together with some regular orcs face some elves with a bit of help from some human rangers, you could just draw cards for each race. Changes the flavor a bit.<br /><br />Also, for unpredictability I suggest you use the random events rules. Maybe even rolling one at a certain point on a scenario rather than just on Jokers. Also the differing command cards dependant on point cost of the armies can give you differing commands for differing point battles. One last thing, Ive played a scenario where any card higher than 10 meant the group was hesitant, except of course if in close combat. Just some thoughts!<br /><br />Cheers!Doguihttp://dogui.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8055167407407861889.post-84933555324191422752011-04-28T21:31:16.147-06:002011-04-28T21:31:16.147-06:00Yup... sounds like a fun challenge.

I bet we could get in 2-3 games versus the one that we could do at a larger points value.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16039318962064899079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8055167407407861889.post-11863944252402113372011-04-28T09:15:42.441-06:002011-04-28T09:15:42.441-06:00Nice write up again Jerry, I love that the Elves w...Nice write up again Jerry, I love that the Elves won the "Artifact" of Tin Bitz!<br /><br />We will need to get in a game against my awesome Goblin Horde of 175 points!Tim Kulinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15556960285841667223noreply@blogger.com
