Has anyone backed Trench Crusade or are working on warbands? I got to say, the Iron Sultanate looks intriguing.
i agree, both the game in general and the sultanate in particular are fascinating. A friend of mine went full into backing it, and he's planning to organize demonstrative battles and a mini-tournament (we are actually in the phase "let's prepare no less than 3 different battlefields"). I look forward into it.
Eh, it's overflowing with adjectives. They could have done more with less words. The lack of a map annoys me. Everything being "vague" doesn't help. Never really liked Atom's presentation style, but I'll give it a listen.
Sadly wasn't able to back it, as my funds are... Well, my wallet has more of a history of carrying mothballs than it does actual monetary value. But I did look at it and think things. Many things. All ending with "if I only had actual financial value to my name". I'll give the lore primer a read later.
For anyone fooling around with the warband builder/ quickstart rules - this is what I've come up with for New Antioch. [ DUCATS ] Total : 0 | Spent : 699 (113 Lost) | Available : -699 [ GLORY ] Total : 0 | Spent : 6 (6 Lost) | Available : -6 [ ELITE MEMBERS ] Lieutenant | Lieutenant | 144 ducats 5 glory --- [ EQUIPMENT ] -Automatic Pistol (20 ducats) -Sword/Axe (4 ducats) -Machine Armour (50 ducats) -Knighthood (5 glory) [ INFANTRY ] Mechanised Heavy Infantry | Mechanised Heavy Infantry | 125 ducats 0 glory --- [ UPGRADES ] -Machine Armour (10 ducats) [ EQUIPMENT ] -Reinforced Armour (0 ducats) -Grenade Launcher (30 ducats) Mechanised Heavy Infantry | Mechanised Heavy Infantry | 110 ducats 0 glory --- [ UPGRADES ] -Machine Armour (10 ducats) [ EQUIPMENT ] -Reinforced Armour (0 ducats) -Automatic Shotgun (15 ducats) Yeoman | Yeoman | 42 ducats 0 glory --- [ EQUIPMENT ] -Bolt Action Rifle (0 ducats) -Bayonet (2 ducats) Yeoman - Copy | Yeoman | 42 ducats 0 glory --- [ EQUIPMENT ] -Bolt Action Rifle (0 ducats) -Bayonet (2 ducats) Yeoman - Copy | Yeoman | 42 ducats 0 glory --- [ EQUIPMENT ] -Bolt Action Rifle (0 ducats) -Bayonet (2 ducats) Yeoman - Copy | Yeoman | 42 ducats 0 glory --- [ EQUIPMENT ] -Bolt Action Rifle (0 ducats) -Bayonet (2 ducats) Shocktrooper | Shocktrooper | 86 ducats 0 glory --- [ EQUIPMENT ] -Sword/Axe (4 ducats) -Trench Shield (15 ducats) -Grenades (7 ducats) -Standard Armour (15 ducats) Shocktrooper standard bearer | Shocktrooper | 66 ducats 1 glory --- [ EQUIPMENT ] -Troop Flag (1 glory) -Standard Armour (15 ducats) -Pistol (6 ducats)
I wasn't aware that it was 700 Ducats and zero Glory. So I'm going to have to remove my glory items. Oops.
That game looks interesting. So is the idea that you play in the trenches, or one army in the trench and the other one trying to get them cleared out?
Love it. LOOOOVE it. Really regret listening to those mothballs squatting in my wallet. This looks so good.
Not exactly, it's not army vs army, it's more like a skirmish game with a band with a limited amount of dudes, that can grow in a way similar to Mordheim. The setting is very WWI, but it's focused on these specialized groups of warriors that roam the land in search of valuable prizes
