He never enjoys a game that he loses and always declares it's 'broken' or at least substantially flawed it it's something we've tried for the first time :-( <br />I was quite lucky with my die rolls that night but nevertheless there were several activations where I shot at his Men-at-Arms or Mounted Serjeants without causing a casualty due to the armour value, so perhaps not so 'overpowered' if the other troop types are used appropriately.Cambria5622https://www.blogger.com/profile/17042699974420383994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830353542180186213.post-66141520560893560472015-01-09T22:03:52.377+00:002015-01-09T22:03:52.377+00:00Lose a couple of guys from a unit and roll snake e...Lose a couple of guys from a unit and roll snake eyes and watch your unit disappear!!Pete Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14449647031966789600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830353542180186213.post-28255145753479181022015-01-09T09:27:32.783+00:002015-01-09T09:27:32.783+00:00Great looking game!Great looking game!Rodgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447816347472085277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830353542180186213.post-47249414374894344192015-01-09T08:43:54.673+00:002015-01-09T08:43:54.673+00:00I think you need a new opponent...

It took me ages to kill any of the foot men at arms - four succesful hits to take of a single man, and I kept getting 3 5's!<br />TomTWDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09921046811399998400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830353542180186213.post-41966900156725769282015-01-08T23:12:48.074+00:002015-01-08T23:12:48.074+00:00I really enjoyed your report and I'm glad you ...I really enjoyed your report and I'm glad you enjoyed the game. I've only played twice myself because my opponent has declared the rules are "broken" and won't play any more because he can't manoeuvre his knights (7+ activation to move) and shooting has been "too effective". I'm really disappointed because I liked the aspects of the rules that you seem to have enjoyed, namely the simplicity and the uncertainty.

I feel it's not a big deal, and easily modified to ease play - which is the spirit of the rules I believe.

BTW, I've found in the few games I've played using LR that I have to get away from forming "lines" of missile troops, as it sometimes crowds the field when keeping the 3" between units rule. As only one figure needs to have LOS and range, clumps of figures seem easier to move around. Just one of the mechanics which is a bit different from most other rules. I really like the rules, nonetheless.
