I don't really use the mechanics of the game, just the map. We are still beat testing the campaign system, but the house rules are all for strategic movement and force composition. I'll post it after the campaign so you can see what I have come up with.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04441536675857667510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060176393936793574.post-43219335177765953532015-01-23T18:15:15.132-08:002015-01-23T18:15:15.132-08:00This seems like a very mature and British way to p...This seems like a very mature and British way to play a game. The differentiation between WotR and SBG is also a good idea, if I may say so. Might I ask what the Ares system is, and how it such a well-known entity?<br /><br />As a Middle-Earth fan, I have always liked WotR, and am trying my best to keep the interest up in said system, whether it be in the FLGS or on the web, and it is very encouraging to read a post like this, where WotR is taken seriously. There is a boardgame that might be used as a strategic board in a case like yours, simply called "War of the Ring", which I am certain you know of. In case you aren't familiar with it, one can always visit boardgamegeek.com to learn more.<br /><br />Personally, I have always liked resource management more than the conflict and attrition of wargames, but GW:s WotR works in such a way that I can do without the strategic part of the game and settle with the tactical/operational part of a war - still, to one day merge the two (strat/tact) would be a dream; something you seem to work on.<br /><br />But I drone on, I would just like to say that I work on updating parts on the WotR-rules, and other people's opinions are always interesting, so if you have a house rule or two that you like, please, feel free to point me into the right direction.<br /><br />Sorry about the essay.Llamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17911664680967354153noreply@blogger.com
