I've taken time the past few nights to play test some ideas I have for rules for future battles on my imaginary island of Helvetica.
My goal was to take what I liked from Soldier's Companion but mash it up with ideas from other systems to give me something that would work a little better for me. That is, something a little simpler.
Here is the result:
This is, I think the 4th or 5th draft and is playable, for me, as is.
I do think I might change the Morale section to more of a G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. chaos result in the next iteration.
However, tonight I turn my attention to The Ever Expanding Dungeon and there's no telling when I'll return to modifying these rules, so, I wanted to share what I have in case anyone else finds it helpful.
By the way, the link has also been added to the downloads section.
Wherein Our Hero blathers on about playing with toy soldiers, playing RPGs and related interests for his own edification.
I have played Colonials using G.A.S.L.I.G.H.T. without the VSF stuff and it works quite enjoyably . . . at least as long as one doesn't have too many "Heroes" (that top type are almost unkillable).
ReplyDeleteNow however I have gone back to using "The Sword and the Flame" . . . it just gives such a good enjoyable game.

The Sword and the Flame has been on my "to buy" list for a few years now, but I always put it off. I really should check it out. After all it does have a whole convention dedicated to it.

Thanks for the downloads, I'll check them out.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sean. I hope you find them useful. The aren't ground breaking or earth shattering, just something to keep me from switching rulesets every other game. For the time being!
