  • With all the lockdowns, travel restrictions and general urge to game, Solo games can be the solution.
    In the first game Baridoc Kingsson will be attempting to drive off goblin raiders and make some new friends.
    Oathmark is a mass-battle miniature wargame that puts you in command of a fantasy army made up of Humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, Goblins and the Undead. Create your own Kingdom and forge it's destiny.

    In the wake of Moxis…being Moxis (being intentionally vague for spoilers), I am once again coming back to where it all started, and binging this entire series from the beginning.
    Oathmark is truly my first tabletop game I’ve fallen down the proverbial rabbit hole for. Though I technically owned Elder Scrolls Call to Arms before Oathmark, this game was truly my deep dive into the hobby.
    And it was these videos that taught me the game, Chris. You truly helped me get into this hobby. Sincerely, thank you for all your work.

      So how many armies have you got together now!? 😛😄
      And Moxis being Moxis... if you know, you know and no more need be said!😅

      The biggest difference in the paint job is that I used black and brown washes to stain the wooden parts and add a bit of variation to it rather than just using a single brown base coat.

    That was a very fun watch and a really well put together video.
    The game itself looks nice, but I just find the idea of these troops, particularly goblins and orcs, advancing in ranks and wheeling and pivoting like modern soldiers on a parade ground, a bit ridiculous! It's the main reason I prefer Lion/Dragon Rampant for fantasy and medieval battles.

    • @AshandStoneNZ
      @AshandStoneNZ  9 месяцев назад +2

      Cheers Gabriel, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
      It's a really good game, so if you get a chance to have a go, I thoroughly recommend it. Yes, the Goblins standing shoulder to shoulder in lines is a little far fetched. Though a little creativity with your basing and movement trays could go a long way toward making them look a little more disorganised, without impacting gameplay. And what's a rank n' flank game without the rank!?😄

  • @logitimate
    @logitimate 2 года назад +1

    (Newbie, asking to try to figure out whether I understand the rules, not to nitpick) At 18:50, are you interpreting "open ground to either side of the obstacle" as meaning "to at least one side?" When I initially read it, I interpreted it as "on both sides," but perhaps that was not what was intended.

    • @AshandStoneNZ
      @AshandStoneNZ  2 года назад

      Hey, no worries! Not exactly. I interpret that as being either side of the obstacle, front and back. For example, one side of a wall or the other. Not either side of the unit as it moves.
      So, your unit comes across a tall stone wall, with an open gateway in the center, in the middle of an otherwise open field. As long as the officer can move though the open gateway, and the unit has enough movement to make it to the other side, the whole unit can "flow around" the wall, by moving though the gateway. Does that make sense?

    • @logitimate
      @logitimate 2 года назад

      @@AshandStoneNZ Huh, interesting. So the only way that requirement *wouldn't* be satisfied is if the obstacle is "too long" (e.g.. narrowly-spaced parallel fences, more than 9 inches long) and/or an enemy unit is positioned such that the moving unit would context it before it could "spread out?"

    • @AshandStoneNZ
      @AshandStoneNZ  2 года назад

      Yeah, though I'm sure there are other examples too.
      Also, the obstacles need not be so long. Remember the whole unit must move past the obstacle, so units with more ranks can only pass smaller obstacles. And the officer must have a clear path. It basically gives the unit a way of moving through narrow areas or around buildings (or fields!) without too much mucking around.

    • @logitimate
      @logitimate 2 года назад

      @@AshandStoneNZ Sure. Huh, I think I took more or less than requirement as implicit (because otherwise where would you *put* your unit at the end of its move), and so assumed that the explicit "either side" requirement had to refer to something additional. (Although the possibly insane part of me insists that the "where you *put* them issue really ought to be solved by movement in column rules . . .) Definitely something worth agreeing on with an innocent before a game!
      While I'm asking you questions anyway, a broader and unrelated one: as I read it, the solo campaign rules you posted seem to indicate how the ratio of friendly to hostile forces should change over time, but not how the point value for friendly forces should grow (or shrink). Is that meant to be left to player discretion, or is there a rule that I overlooked?

    • @AshandStoneNZ
      @AshandStoneNZ  2 года назад

      It's not a rule I've seen come up very often, so a friendly heads up when you see the opportunity arise will be much appreciated I'm sure!
      Points values are entirely up to player discretion. Just use what makes sense for your story.

      That's probably the biggest hurdle for Oathmark, it's not Warhammer Fantasy. As such, there are no specific rules for Dark Elves or Beastmen or Lizardmen or what have you.
      Though with a little imagination and the really flexible Kingdom rules, you can run most Warhammer units in one way or another!
