Greetings…
I have managed to tidy up enough to be able to invite some friends around for a game…Hurrah!
It will be a little bash using the new version of Lion Rampant…
None of my chums have played Lion Rampant before so I will be umpiring… it’s a good chance to introduce people to a new game and it also gives me the opportunity to test out the new version of the game….
The game will be happening tomorrow (Friday)…
Here are a couple of shots of the table…
It’s a simple scenario…
The Sassanids must destroy the Temple and the Villa… The Romans must stop them.
As I am not playing we might see some decent dice rolling… 😁
All the best. Aly
Looking forward to the Annals of Aly in due course.
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil…

Hooray, a game indeed! With you not actively rolling dice, will the battle be as entertaining?
ReplyDeleteI think me just being there might affect the dice in an adverse manner….😂

We can't wait to see your little troops in action. Beautiful scenery for your battle, very verdant for a Middle Eastern setting... but global warming was yet to come in those days!
ReplyDeleteIt is of course set in the Eastern fringes of the Roman Empire… in the Spring when everything is in blossom… Honest 😁

Hopefully the Romans can stop those Sassanids and their temple wrecking cancel culture. Looking forward to the result.
ReplyDeleteIt should be a lot of Mark.
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Lot of fun…🙄
DeleteI am sure both armies will be pleased they are not at the mercy of your dice rolling, Aly! We have a lot of Mark at most of our games too - always very entertaining!
ReplyDeleteThere was some spectacular dice throwing and a lot of Mark tonight… 😁
DeleteAll the best. Aly
Best of luck with the game Aly and thanks for reminding me I need to clean up my wargaming room as well😂
ReplyDeleteEverything went well Carlo…
DeleteI don’t think anyone noticed my tidying… they were to busy looking at the toys.
All the best. Aly
Nice looking layout but don't despair maybe the players will let you roll their dice for them... maybe not... ;o)
ReplyDeleteA new version of LR? What's changed? Enough to make it worth getting a copy?
The rules were a lot easier to play through…
DeleteI think the layout is a lot better in this edition and the rules felt a lot more intuitive… by the end of tonight’s game everyone was working out what they had to do without much help from me…
And it was fun…
All the best. Aly
Looking forward to this especially since I treated myself to a copy of the 2nd edition, which is really very nice.
ReplyDeleteI was really pleased with how the game went tonight…
DeleteI am really liking the new edition.
All the best. Aly
Hi Aly,
ReplyDeleteSassanids on the rampage eh? What’s not to like? My one and only victory using WRG 6th edition was against a Sassanid Persian army using Late Romans and a lot of caltrops…. Mind you, my opponent had a serious hangover which may have clouded his judgement somewhat!
Looking forward to seeing how this plays out!
All the best,
DC
The Sassanids did some rampaging….😁
DeleteEveryone enjoyed themselves…
All the best. Aly
Fine looking table. I hope that the players did it justice with mighty acts and plenty of heroism along the way!
ReplyDeleteThere was indeed some pointless heroics…And a lot of fun was had..
DeleteAll the best. Aly
