We have had quite a few dead generals in our games - putting them in the front rank gives nice bonuses and the chance of them dying seems small - a score of 12 on 2 dice if you win or draw a round of combat, 11 or 12 if you lose. But if you push your luck those high scores will turn up sooner or later!<BR/><BR/>I should be posting pics of the whole 6mm Roman army (minus the 6 cavalry that it still needs) next week.<BR/><BR/>For the Robot game, you win by destroying the enemy collection-bot. Destroying and recycling enemy robots into friendly robots is the key to this. And then there will be the choice of what type of bot to make - do you churn our rubbish or take your time and build good stuff? It should be fun to play.Rock Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259561583833857901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828032132703193471.post-53470088657184185442008-06-19T06:37:00.000-07:002008-06-19T06:37:00.000-07:00Glad you are all better now!Good news about the Ro...Glad you are all better now!<BR/>Good news about the Romans, are you going to do a photo of the whole army?<BR/>heard mixed things about FOG, mostly as usual on TMP from people who have not played it.<BR/>The robot game sounds like fun but how do the players win? Does the umpire control the collection bot?Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862893880440624911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828032132703193471.post-14527633085194121552008-06-19T06:23:00.000-07:002008-06-19T06:23:00.000-07:00You DO have a lot lined up!I have now finished my ...You DO have a lot lined up!<BR/><BR/>I have now finished my 6mm Romans (except for another 6 cavalry which I will be ordering with my Carthaginians). I am now painting some more 15mm Crusaders and Turks for a game next week. Might not make it as getting ill mess up the timing a bit!<BR/><BR/>The Imperial Roman book for Field of Glory is out now, so I will be looking at my 28mm Romans and Dacians again.<BR/><BR/>Finally I have got plans for a futuristic robot wargame which should be fun - the basis is that the humans are dead but the robots are still fighting. Each player controls a big factory-botw which wanders around the table sucking up bits of wreckage, dead robots etc and recyling them into a variety of new battle robots. Intended to be played while drinking beer.Rock Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259561583833857901noreply@blogger.com
