Awesome Wargaming Rules: Lion Rampant 2nd Edition
In the world of miniature wargaming there are lots of rules available. Lion Rampant 2nd Edition is a GREAT set of basic rules to easily get you started. Utilizing basic 6 sided dice and no special cards, or other "stuff" to clutter the table the rule book and whatever miniatures you would like to use are all you need.
Specific areas where these rules really stand apart:
- Base size and shape agnostic (you can base your figures as you like and still make it work)
- Unit sizes are 6 or 12 to start reducing during the course of play. (there are special rules which "upgrade" or further set units apart from others)
- 50 miniatures would be a BIG "army," this means that 1 to 2 boxes of something should be all that is needed to get you going.
- These rules are exactly what the book description says, no more no less. That really is a good thing in this case.
- Tactics, "army" composition, and luck are what win games not how much money you spend on the latest and greatest unit. -- This is what gaming is all about, good times and great narrative play, balanced against a generalized point system.
The options are endless, using this as a core ruleset, special rules can be built to further expand your games. This is the rule set that puts the players in control of their gaming experience.
From a person who has been into wargaming for quite some time, I strongly recommend the rules in the book. (Yes the hardcover book is nice, yes there is nice art inside, yes there are come good photos inside... but it is the rules themselves that shine!)Read full review...
