I co-wrote that Goonhammer article. For me the advantage of using the app was that I literally didn't have to look at the rulebook once during play and it tracked everything for me like unit states, casualties, etc. I think its promising for really big games with tons of units and/or convention games where you have a lot of new players and not much time to teach them the rules. With an AR app you can just have them download the app, give them a couple of quick instructions, and the app does the rest. edit: or if you want your game to have very complex calculations, like realistic armor penetration mechanics.

Count Thrashula posted:I'm planning on printing out some ancients (I have republican, imperial, and late romans to pick from) and I can't decide on an era, scale, basing, or ruleset :'( If you want to use them for SAGA you can do 28mm. I think only the Republican Romans have a battle board at the moment.

Southern Heel posted:is BA generally considered better than CoC? Or is it that it’s just more widely available and more 40k-alike? I think it really depends on what you're looking for. BA easily supports tournaments and pickup games. With CoC it's more difficult and you're kinda limited to scenario play.

I'm starting to experiment with moving some of my wargaming down from 28mm to smaller scales. I wanted to get an idea on what basing schemes are popular. How do you all like to base your 6mm-15mm minis for mass battle games? It looks like at 15mm scale a lot of people go with either 40x20mm bases or 40x40 square bases for their minis, I'm guessing because it is flexible in terms of formation changes.

Springfield Fatts posted:What period are you going for? Anything pre-musket can follow the same scheme, it's only once you start getting into pike & shot or later you have to start thinking about formations and poo poo like that. I started with the 40x20 route when I didn't have a large play space but since moving I've gone over to the Big Base DBA System as it has a little more spectacle without a ton more models. Right now I'm leaning towards Samurai in 15mm, or possibly 6mm.

Baron's War is way more granular, from what I remember. Like, each guy has various weapon and equipment options that affect what stats/abilities they have. I think it's supposed to be more of a warband type game.

Southern Heel posted:I'm quite pleased with how this 10mm star fort is looking - I got it as a 3D model from Project Diratia on MyMiniFactory and it was split in a really silly way, but other than a wonky corner it's printed out quite well I think and certainly is as imposing as I hoped it to be. Now to figure out some siege rules... Hey, we're working on similar projects! I bought the same fort during the winter MMF sale. Did you end up making any modifications to the file to fix the weird splits? I'm going to be trying to wargame the siege of Malta, so let me know what rules you end up using. Major Isoor posted:Hey, just wondering, is anyone aware of any good Bolt Action scenarios? Doesn't matter if they're official or unofficial - just preferably non-themed like the core book's scenarios, if that's an option. (Since I use an Italian Alpini force, while my friend uses the Romanian army. So yeah, not really any suitable campaign books for us There are a bunch of free scenarios up on Warlord's website under the articles section. The Case Blue book has scenarios for Romanians and Alpini, but not against each other (obviously).

Major Isoor posted:Yeah, agreed. A friend of mine was initially dubious, but after seeing how easy it makes it at a glance, he's come around to the idea and is going to implement a similar system. Regarding your 'easy on the eye' comment though, yeah that's my aim - however, uh... I ran low on colours, so I actually have a purple- and an orange-rimmed mortar and howitzer team, respectively. So easy on the eye for most, while... horribly garish for others My recommendation is to activate 3-4 units per dice pull to speed things up.

lilljonas posted:Speaking of KS, I just finally got my shipping email from Fireforge from their Samurai KS. Six boxes of plastic soldiers on the way! This is what I need to make enough troops for two opposing armies. Man, they really botched the delivery of the KS to their backers. I didn't back the kickstarter and I was able to buy the entire range from an online retailer over a month ago. The models are pretty nice, but wait until you see the weirdness with the torsos/legs.

lilljonas posted:Lol is it worse than the Warlord games samurai? The fit is ok, it's the proportion of legs to torsos that's the issue. A sprue of Ashigaru come with six torsos and nine sets of legs. It's super frustrating to have everything you need to make 12 more models, except for the torsos. Meanwhile, the Samurai cav come with 12 sets of legs but 24 torsos, for some reason. They're slightly smaller than the non-cav torsos so they only work with some models and not others. It's a bit of a head-scratcher.
