The hands off a clock. She was alone and needed weapons, so she took them.

>WWI doesn't really have a lot going for it in mainstream historicals, most rulesets for WWI are older and even fewer focus on 25/28mm miniatures

>Horses feature predominantly in pre-industrial conflicts

>Depends on the manufacturer. Historicals isn't like 40k where you have to use Games Workshops miniatures. There are hundreds of small companies that make historical miniatures of varying quality. Perry and Warlord are some of the better, larger historical companies, in my opinion.

>Bolt Action is a WWII 28mm platoon-level game that was developed by guys that wrote the 40k rules

>Depends on the time period you want to focus on. Near-modern history? Nearly everyone will be playing WWII

You already sound like you have a good idea of what you're looking for. I'd suggest going with Bolt Action since it typically has a lot of crossover players from 40k that are looking to get into historicals. It's a good "in-between" to see if you want to actually go down this rabbit hole. Also, search the catalogue for /hwg/ it's a general focused on historicals.

Well there some differences between the mainstream games and historicals.

The main difference is that many people buy both forces unless your playing one of the extremely popular games.

If you want 10mm Napoleonic British using X game system, the chances of finding someone with 10mm Napoleonic French based for X system are slim to non-existent.

So for a start I would pick a game based on it's popularity more than the rules if you want a 'turn up and play' experience like 40K.

I would say for both WWI and WWII the most popular systems are Flames of War and Bolt Action. The former is played very similarly to 40K but in 15mm scale and has rules and models for both WWI, WWII and a 1985 scenario.

Bolt Action is the same 40K scale of 28mm and isn't that different but does use an alternative activation system. This game is mainly WWII but a good set of fan made rules can also be used to play WWI.

So BA and FoW would be my recommendation, both games (FoW V4) are about the same level of complexity as 7th edition was.

Some one in /hist/ gave me these, BA WWI rules. They look quite good.

I never thought it was more than a simple race.

What's that big 4/8/64 die for?

>>54036788

doubling the stakes. Either player can offer to double the value of the game (if it's a 1-point game, winner would now get 2 points etc.) The other guy can decline to double, which throws the game, or accept. You can keep doubling up to anything. It's not a die you roll, it's just there as a marker of where you are on the doubling.

The strategy articles are virtually incomprehensible.

>After some early ups and downs, White has succeeded in establishing a 1-3 back game. His chances of timing the game properly are pretty reasonable. He has three extra back men to release, and White only has a four-prime in front of his back checkers, so getting the men into the outfield shouldn't be too big a problem. His timing isn't certain, however, because Black also has some men to bring around, and this will take awhile. One quick way to assess the timing in a back game is so simple that many players forget to do it: you can just take a pip count! In this position, Black trails in the pip count by 138 to 218, a difference of 80 pips. In very general terms, a deficit of 90-120 pips signifies a well-timed back game. So White is close to having enough timing, but he's not quite there yet.

The Russians I'm familiar with all play interesting chess. If the popularity of chess in their country makes you nervous then imagine your opponent is drunk on vodka.

The most polite way to return the greeting is to say pidoraja hohol.

It means good day friend, of course.

Zatknis nahui means good game
Best to be polite, even if you can't understand much of what they say

If you're the DM, make a session devoted to making the party trust each other to get out alive, showing that sespite their differences they still have each other's backs and need each other for now. Unless you think that your paladin actually can't trust the others now

>>54035205
>Party has a pagan witch in it
>Also a witch hunter
Both are good aligned, and so far they manage to get along, but their goals are so diametrically opposed, it's only a matter of time before it ends in blood and tears.

Trail by combat. To the death. Whoever loses was in the wrong.
Loser is then revived by medic, First Mate threatens them to drop whatever quarrel it was now that they lost, and we continue on our way.

Unless one of the parties in the argument is either the First Mate or the Captain. Opposing party is either slaughtered in single combat or shot in the head and spaced, respectively.
First Mate will never go against the captain, out of respect.

Too bad skaven got squatted

Everyone's getting squatted once they use up their stock.

>>54034676

Aren't the squats coming back? Shouldn't we really be calling it "sobbing" at this point?

Never even heard of it.

Bump

I hadn't either until recently. Looks fun, with solid solo play, but just trying to get info from anybody who might have actually played it.

So do you start with 3d6 and then start adding dice?

Cool and thank you.

I'm going into a canyon, for a few hours, so someone else needs to run this.
