Hi, I have made a new fantasy wargame called Savage Wars. The rules are still in the beta phase, but they are socalled "living rules" where I will update them if there are any balance issues or if I feel like adding new content. I'm looking for playtesters that can give me some feedback. A...

Re: Path To Glory - BR vs Wood Elves May 20th

do you have a reference to the BRB here? Hmm, I guess I was wrong. The character counts as a separate target. See page 101 in the BRB. It also says "he does not gain the same protection as being inside a unit". This could mean that he doesn`t benefit from the banner. Have you tried using ...

Re: Path To Glory - BR vs Wood Elves May 20th

He declared S&S with Hail of Doom, which presented an interesting question: would the Prince get the benefit from BOTWD?
I think the unit the prince is with will be hit instead since he hasn`t left the unit when the S&S is performed.

Re: A Quest For Balance - A Rules Blog

Thoughts about the rules. With the strength bonus units now receive on the charge, core infantry units may now actually do some damage. Combine this with the extra attacks from spears, units like spearelves suddenly doesn`t seem so bad. Empire spearmen becomes alot better too, as do ungors and gors...

I`m currently writing some rules where the goal is to balance the game and make units that are considered useless usable. I might hold a tournament here in Norway using these rules.

Re: How would you "fix" shadow warriors?

In the tournament rules pack I`m working on, I have changed so that all units get +1 strength instead of +1 combat result when charging. Units also don`t suffer -1 to hit when moving and shooting. This way the shadow warriors might actually do some damage.

Re: Skirmisher mage

I`ve used the shadow warriors as bodyguards several times, and it works well. You`re highly mobile, so you can avoid enemy units, and fairly resistant to shooting attacks. It`s much better to join a skirmishing unit than being stuck in a rank and file unit.

Re: Infantry heavy 2400pts

Thanks for the reply. Adding the shadow warriors into one group of ten would defeat their purpose because I will likely use them as redirectors. The reason I have a large unit of seaguard is because anything smaller is not able to withstand a charge, and because the unit benefits more from enchanted...

This. By making cannons D3 instead of D6 wounds they wouldn`t have such a polarized rock-paper-scissors situation.
Or by making them roll to hit using the ballistic skill.
