I'm using the most excellent Washington's Army by Peter Pig, if you go here, you'll see the contents of some of the ready made armies for it. http://www.peterpig.co.uk/range5-awi.htm But of course just us the Pendraken AWI range, IMHO despite being 10mm look much better sculpts than the 15mm on that page.
Definitly a must have ruleset, a bit Warmasterish/BKCish in that the command and control is handled a bit similarly. A general has a quality (between 1 and 3), a unit has a quality (between 1 and 3). The brigade general tries to activate one of his units, if he's a 2 and the unit is a 2 and its say 6 inches away, he has to roll 6 or more on 2d6. 2 for him, 2 for the unit, and a further 2 for each 3 inches away. Unit if activated then rolls 1d6 for the number of actions it can do that turn. Obviously a bit more to it than that, but thats the core mechanism.
Gordon,
ReplyDeleteI forgot to ask earlier, what rules are you using for your AWI games..?? cheers
