New Series this Week -- Gaming the English Civil War

Posted by Ranillon on 21. September 2009 12:54

Over the summer I picked up the Warhammer Historicals rulebook for the English Civil War, a period of history I've long seen as interesting.  What surprised me, however, was how the rules themselves were so much like regular Warhammer and yet were not.  Frankly, I think it has a lot of great ideas that you could use to tweak your Warhammer game.  More fundamentally, it is a good case study for how to provide more variations for your GW gaming in general.

So, I am starting a series on the English Civil War and gaming to run this week.  It will include some new History in Gaming material, a review of the Warhammer Historicals rules, and some commentary on how they relate to Games Workshop miniatures games in general.

More to come...

    WAB has a few surprises in it.  Having played older versions of Fantasy battle, I thought it would be an easy set to pick up.  But its taken a bit of study to learn all the nuances.
