Battle for Empire AAR

DSC00544


Originally uploaded by msoong

A NW Frontier game at Nick's new dig. I have not touch these rules since it first came out (and I forgot why I didn't like it much back then), but had a great time this time around.



For those of you not familiar, the rules are reminiscent of Fire and Fury (Every troop type have an action chart that incorporates command control and morale. So before you can take your turn you roll on the chart, if lucky you move normally or even get some extra movement. If you roll poorly it simulates some command problem and you might move very little or stand still. If unit is already in bad shape then it could get rallied or might even run off the board).



It's definitely for larger actions more than the mass skirmish scale favored by the Sword and Flame set. It moves briskly and our action concluded in about 3~4 hours. Maneuver tends to be more restrictive (i.e. formed troops can not move and fire, facing change and formation change could be slow, etc.) so forces the player to plan ahead. It's definitely not as "chaotic" from my normal PIQUET/FIELD OF BATTLES school, and that is both a plus and a minus depending on your gaming style (or mood).



I would definitely use these rules again for larger and more "formal" colonial battles. For action that requires more "wild factors" I'll probably stick with Field of Battles.
