Heretical Gaming is my blog about my gaming life, featuring small skirmishes and big battles from many historical periods (and some in the mythic past or the far future too). The focus is on battle reports using a wide variety of rules, with the occasional rules review, book review and odd musing about the gaming and history. Most of the battles use 6mm-sized figures and vehicles, but occasionally 15mm and 28mm figures appear too.

Dragon Rampant - First Taste

I had a first play through Dan Mersey's Dragon Rampant fantasy rules today.





This was only a walkthrough to figure out the mechanics, but it seemed lots of fun and very smooth in play.  It seemed to combine a bit of the Warmaster/Black Powder unit activation mechanic with a Neil Thomas-esque combat mechanic with DBA smoothness.  I think that my kids will be able to handle the game, with a little help.  I'm looking forward to exploring this ruleset a bit more.

A small set-up on a 3'x2' table.  Perry Late Medieval Men-at-Arms, GW Elves, Heroquest Foot Men-at-Arms (from the Wizards of Morcar supplement), Heroquest Orcs and Chaos Warriors, Westwind Nordvolk and various female adventurers from Bad Squiddo. This might be the impetus I need to improve a couple of the paint jobs and make the basing consistent.
