Might be worth reverse engineering other WFBII scenarious to see how they stack up as well...<br /><br />I've seen the Grudge of Drong from 4th/5th - and these are not in the same league as WFBII - just a series of pitched battles of an enforced point size linked together by a story.<br /><br />Thanks for the The Lidless Eye tip off.zhu bajieehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004498036257289234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987036307358278254.post-38693563367272378332012-04-26T20:39:10.511+01:002012-04-26T20:39:10.511+01:00aw, takes me back (in advance I apologise for a ra...aw, takes me back (in advance I apologise for a rant...). Myself being a 4th/5th/6th edition player, I was pretty keen on doing scenario based warhammer games, either from WD, the citadel journal or making my own. Sadly 90+% of all games I played were the line 'em up and go point limit matches and any scenario I made up did have the points system in place rather than lists of regiments and characters like the old(er) school stuff such as orc's drift. Guess I was born a decade late if it comes to warhammer stuff! Wrote tons of scenario's and campaigns/campaign systems and seldom could get anyone to play anything other than "pitched battle" :( <br />Still, I fondly remember my retooling of "the Kalamata Conflict" -which was a citadel journal-published Epic campaign (Eldar vs Imperials)- to Warhammer Fantasy (High Elves vs Empire). And the times we tried to flesh out the White Dwarf (195) "rough outline" of "Schuster's Last stand". Sadly I never managed to convince my two regular opponents (a friend and my brother) to try the warhammer Fantasy variant of the Battle of Waterloo (a 3-battle campaign, Bretonnians -Napoleon- vs High Elves-Britsh and Enmpire-prussians)Herohammernostalgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06101237890430411524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987036307358278254.post-87647613586869475372012-03-12T20:42:28.171+00:002012-03-12T20:42:28.171+00:00Some of the Teasers need a bit of lateral thinking...Some of the Teasers need a bit of lateral thinking but pretty much all can be used with Warhammer...Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15785517757211882618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6987036307358278254.post-89736401971265554782012-03-12T18:21:52.159+00:002012-03-12T18:21:52.159+00:00I just discovered your blog through your mention o...I just discovered your blog through your mention of it on TMP. Very cool stuff here, good recommendations for sources of scenarios. I'd been thinking about where to look for new scenarios or guides towards making my own, so thanks for that.Timmy Crabcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737954661234574830noreply@blogger.com
