Awesome! Would be cool if you checked out the new version of Rolemaster too, to get the "old and new". Rolemaster Unified.
Great game and a true test of intellect to play well! It is still published and a large number of people still play it regularly in the U.S. It is hardly unplayable and has relatively simple mechanics. Like Chess, it is easy to learn and difficult to master.
Good to see that is still has a following. Ah, chess! That's a great analogy, very true. Thanks!
You explain SFB so well that your video deserves far more views than the 183 it currently has. Well done. 🙂
Thank you, that's very kind. Just need to find some players now!
@@DragonsTeeth2Perhaps this map is helpful in your search: www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=17RLD5hI9JG1ROZOSkI7X2xJ54lg&ll=1.2108755725543068%2C0&z=2&fbclid=IwY2xjawErMCRleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHQO7Xfst8G1SmCcjsVSUn8TT7x1IAKCakol0iLvWa77zYsr3gajDlvPDKg_aem_lZ0jUSFGzBSzM2roAIBlUg
Brilliant, thank you!
@@DragonsTeeth2 You're welcome. :-)
cool
Thanks!
Thanks Rob, starting to get my head around the rules and they do appear to be working well for us. Im sure the Orcs will have a different approach to our next battle.
Cheers sir!
Brilliant. Nearly put alexandera against them. But went with the deep ones. Always think of h g Wells et al....the germ of the ogre in folklore. 😊
If in doubt, always go with the deep ones lol
The plot thickens. I'm loving this
Indeed! Thanks
Hello! Just subscribed/liked. You got me at "Innsmouth build". You might have listened to some of my stuff on "Tailes from the cryptkeeper". My own 'the lion at the turn of the tide' features "the little fishes" lol😊. Love your channel.
Hi Stephen - thanks! Yes have some of your stories lined up to listen to - was chatting with Mr Watson just recently lol. Perhaps we can have a chat with you on our podcast sometime too? innsmouth.buzzsprout.com/
@@DragonsTeeth2 will definitely have a look into that. Thanks for getting back to me!
Cool! I’m keen on picking up a copy if these rules (since you never can have one ruleset too many 😅). Have you tried Triumph! by the Washington Great Company? That’s what we’ve been playing mostly for the last couple of years and we find it fun. Easy to learn rules. It also has movement distances based on base width. You roll for command points each turn which means that you’re probably not going to move everything each turn but it encourages grouping your units so you can take advantage of group moves. The rules are for historical battles originally but they have a beta version of fantasy rules which is kind of an expansion and that’s what we play. We mostly play in the Warhammer setting though since that’s where we come from gaming wise. Give it a try (and do a video on it 😉)! Thanks for posting this video, cheers!
Lol yes, there's always space for another rulebook.... No, not familiar but will check them out - thanks!
When I solo'd a campaign, using Warmaster, I used the Solo Wargamers Guide. There's Commander Competancy rolls for how good a commander is; 1d6 I think, and it gave you results such as 'Great', 'Average', 'Poor', ect. I linked that to a Command Value from Warmaster, Great as 10, Average as 8, so on. It made it feel far more emergent having commanders with varying degrees of capabilities even in the same forces, and allowed for a few 'Ulric the Fool' characters to really outshine their old nicknames :D
That's a nice method. Yes, I think it's a good idea, gives the game a bit more "character."
Great video. I love wargaming in this style, the shifting and moving on the strategic layer really impacts the whacky type of stuff you can get involved in at the tactical layer
Thanks! Yes, makes it more interesting I think
Soooo......about 50 years ago when I was a teenager I played a Starfleet game of some sort that needed a lounge floor or garden as a playing area. The ships were flat black silhouettes and were printed on a cardboard circle, they were about the size of a saucer I think. A string that must have been about 8 feet long extended from the centre and around the edge of each circle 360 degrees were marked - a bit like a 360 degree protractor. To fire at and hit an enemy ship you had to guess its bearing on the protractor, extend the string along that bearing and see if it crossed the silhoutte - so you might say "Fire two banks of phasers 60 degrees to port..." etc. Can't remember much else about it - but thanks for invoking the fond memory recall.....
Wow, that sounds fantastic! And has spurred my own memories about the WW1 air combat games we used to play, with the models attached to 4' poles! Nice one, thank you!
Controversial opinion. Federation Commander > SFB. 😆. FC was my first proper designer game and I discovered it in 2009. As a child of the 90s i grew up with the PC game Starfleet Command, which i later learned was the digital version of SFB. I haven't looked back since!
Now I think about it a lot of video games were based on board games and have influenced my gaming life. Starfleet Command was SFB Close Combat was based on a digital version of Advanced squad Leader. Shogun Total War was a version of the 80s game Shogun, now Ikusa. Europa Universalis, was a board game then a video game and now another board game, which is amazing btw. And now they make board games of everything from Rainbow Six, to Rome Total War, Hogs of War and Worms. Anyway, enough of this tangent. Kzinti and Gorn all the way!
@@picton101 that's very true. I still have a copy of SC but never actually got round to playing it! To be honest I'm on the PC so much during the day, if I game it tends to be on the Xbox whilst sat on the sofa these days. Yes, some games even had hexes AFAIR. I did play the Dune PC game a lot back in the 90s, that was a good one. Cats and lizards - an interesting alliance!
Same here! I've only ever played Federation Commander and never got into SFB. It's a solid system
@@WilliamBrothers I shall no doubt have a look at it some time!
I remember Henry from the meeples and miniatures podcast, good to put a face to a voice!
Ah, I just found that, thanks! meeples.wordpress.com/podcast/
nice one, maybe the seller would do you a couple of extra wall sections or an odd tower that you could concert into a holded or damaged section.
Good idea Terry!
Good video review - I do like John B's mdf, his range is massive and they go together well! Also VERY cheap :)
Totally agree!
We played this a bit bitd. There was a lot to like about it. But it was clearly made by people who thought D&D was too simplistic, especially the magic system, and didn't rely enough on tables, and wasn't deadly enough. Lots of pc deaths in my few games. It's definitely extremely well organized and comprehensive. But the best part to me were the critical fail tables for weapons. Hilarious. Overall, tho, way too much for me, and I like math. But I've borrowed from it frequently, and it's a constant source of ideas and inspiration to this day.
Interesting - yes the combat certainly seems less forgiving than having 80 hit points, lol. In that sense it reminded me more of Call of Cthulhu
That fortress does look good and I like the idea of matt varnishing it before painting, I've had the Devils own job painting mdf in the past, it didn't occur to me to think of this, so thank you for that. I like the T shirt, those were 2 very good films I recall his assistant was called Vulnavia.
I've used a PVA wash to seal MDF before and it works very well, but the spray varnish idea looks much easier :)
Thanks you! Ah, that was Ove's tip! Lol yes Phibes is one of my favourite films
Ah, I never thought of that, thanks!
TT Combat used to do various castle elements, a keep and battlements etc. Well worth a look at all their stuff if they're not on your radar. Also, TEMU have some great MDF and plastic models, I saw a whole medieval village for less than £30, but they didn't seem certain of the scale.
Thanks, I'll take a look at TTC. TBH I've heard some not good things about Temu, so am a bit wary.
Are you familiar with Against the Darkmaster?
Hi, no not at all. Would you reccommend it?
@@DragonsTeeth2 I have not played it myself, but I'm very intrigued by it. It takes a large amount of inspiration from Rolemaster and MERPS
Thanks will check it out
It's pre-apocolypse not post
I enjoy Mork Borg, great dark fun. The beauty of the rulebook is part of its appeal. There are a few games that have done this, the one i think tops Mork Borg in terms of the artistry in the rule book is Hell Night, a 80s Doom Metal Biker game. Like Mork Borg it is more of a one shot type of game but great fun at a convention.
Nice, will keep an eye out for that too
It's funny to see popular D&D RUclipsrs trying to create "new" systems and rules without even knowing that Rolemaster existed and that those ideas already existed in that game. I played DnD, Rolemaster and one darker game... Aquelarre. Oh, also Vampire: the masquerade.
True. Aquelarre - not familiar with that one, I'll look it up. One that I never mentioned is Runequest, though I never played it or even had the book.
Aquelarre looks very interesting! Might well track down a copy....
@@DragonsTeeth2 Aquelarre is a weird one, not the best, not as a whole game, but has very interesting, specific mechanics. The rational/irrational world and how magic evolves around it is one of those things. I think it takes inspiration in some of Call of Cthulus games.
@@osvaldoprado9906 Thanks. Certainly is an interesting setting
Rolemaster Unified came out less than a year ago and, while a large book, the actual process is much smoother than the original edition. The new bestiary is due out soon.
Thanks, will check that out
Rolemaster started as Arms Law and Claw Law which were intended to be an alternate combat system for D&D.
Ah, I never knew that, thanks!
nice one Rob, been waiting for this episode, which flew by. I've seen Henry many times at shows I must pluck up the courage to say hello sometime.
Thanks, yes absolutely
great little skirmish from what I saw, felt a bit like a rival football manager checking out the opposition, and who knew the Dwarves have a bear which is of great interest.
Lol yes the bear.... yet to raise a claw in anger!
This is fascinating, it reads like a novel, thank you for taking the time to explain it.
Thanks. Hmm, a novel.... that gives me an idea....
Hi Rob, we played a very successful club competition using the Lion Rampant rules, but its been a while since we've been able to take part in a club campaign, so thanks once again. Some real vintage figures on show here nice to see them still in use.
Thanks Terry, ah yes LR, I just saw the tail end of that, looked good. Yes weird to think those figures are so old, but then so am I lol
The character roll you made, is that a house rule for the campaign? In the rules if you roll less than 11 the character stays on the table and continues fighting. Also, you're supposed to roll every time a unit takes 2 or more resolve damage, not just when it's destroyed.
Hi yes as this was a solo battle for the campaign rather than a full player vs player I was tweaking the FB rules somewhat.
I'd love to know now you use spying and scouting, it sounds fascinating
Thanks - will talk about that in the next part
Test of Honour is a very interesting game. They do have the 'bag of destiny' where the unit being activated is random, and each turn is also a little random. You can play it at any scale, but it is designed for 28mm.
Thanks, would be good to give it a go some time. This week we tried Osprey's Ronin, will be reporting on that soon.
I would probably use MDF for basing rather than card, but a good effect you got there Rob
Good idea. I never thought they would be so heavy lol. cheers
Have to check this Out! The Achtung PANZER!
Looks an interesting game, I will have to give it a go, I ldid like what the event deck was adding to the game. We will have to set up a game of What a Tanker for you, there are some similarities.
Nice one, yes be interesting to see how they compare
Have you tried nail varnish remover to unstick the figures?
No, will give it a try!
Great content - I call ‘shotgun’ for this journey! 👍
You got it!
Looking forward to this
Very interesting - looking forward to the next one.
Thanks!
Thanks for the video.
Thanks!
Corrections... I found the Dixon weapons in a separate little pack. And it was the spray varnish not pva that stuck the bases to the tray!
Thanks Rob, keep up the good work, its been a while since we played a campaign and i think it may be a new experience for a couple of participants so they are still learning their role. Just think when you do the next one you will be able to match the players to a character. Ive done a few campaigns and part of the fun as an umpire is matching club members to historical roles!
Thanks Terry - probably been even longer since I ran one lol. Yes, that's true, but it's all good, and a good exercise in world building too. Cheers.
Nice 'umpired' battle account! Looking forward to the main clashes.
Thanks!
Nice looking table
Thank you!
The Star Wars game looks amazing!
Looking forward to seeing how your early battles go. I'm just wrapping up my last 10mm fantasy army and am sorting out all the stats using the Fantastic Battles rules. Hopefully within the next month I'll finally be playing some actual battles. I tried some practice turns and it started to gel but nothing beats the real deal against an actual opponent. Come on undead! 💀🎉
Excellent, be interested to hear how you get on. Come on you ghouls!
Very much looking forward to a battle report from the campaign. Fantastic battles is such a good, fun game and well supported by its author - I'm always recommending it to people. Two friends and I are coming to the end of a campaign using the campaign rules in the rulebook - which work very well.
Yes, it's a great set of rules. In fact, some of the guys are now using them for historical (ancients) 28mm games. Nice one! Do you use 10mm?
@@DragonsTeeth2 Mostly 28mm, occasionally 15mm. I too use them for occasional historical battles. Had a memorable 100 Years War battle with them in particular. I'd like to try some more historical games with them.
@@adriand4072 just found out one of the BG guys has 15mm samurai armies, so may be trying that soon too!
It's a great series of books
Yes - I've been looking for PC 2 and 3 but they are very expensive now!
using less super glue is the key, a tip i saw and use, to keep the glue usable is to pour a drop on to a night light, no idea why this works but it does. Using a kicker certainly helps but im never sure the bond is as good.
Thanks Terry. Yes, was def putting too much glue on before
I use zipkicker. What I do is a little dot of glue on one side, usually the main piece. Then, I take a brush and dab some zipkicker on the bit (in this case, the wings), and aim and push. It will set almost immediately, so you have to be quick! its my preferred method though. Once it's in place, I use a little more glue and let it get in there and cure. Zap A Gap is best for this stuff, IMO. With 10mm stuff, the reason glue doesnt set is there ends up being too much glue compared to the surface area of what you're joining, so it doesn't cure fast when you press them together. Sometimes if you just wipe a bunch of the glue off and leave just a little behind, it will magically work lol. Those are sweet gargoyles. Kind of want some. Too bad my most recent order just showed up and I am overseas :(
Nice one, thank you! Yes Pendraken make great figures, will be ordering up some zombies this weekend
