However, the rules for terrain do not apply. There was some discussion among local players about skirmishing units too, which was related to scoring for the purpose of the scenario. <br /><br />The good thing is that KoW: Historical is really not that far away from its Fantasy version which helps in playing both games in parallel.<br /><br />Looking forward to hearing from you again! No need to be shy :)Swordmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735639525894232458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3921669614910911724.post-24004682237019195992017-10-24T15:51:01.891+11:002017-10-24T15:51:01.891+11:00That was a lot of very helpful information! Yeah, ...That was a lot of very helpful information! Yeah, kindoms of men are my backup plan. I've always liked the "ancient" period, though that's such a broad area! the hellenistic age is what's always fascinated me, but the army i was planning on using from the historical books is probably Thracians. I like the idea of hard hitting infantry backed by peltasts. Plus i already have some of them!<br /><br />That's good to know about the fantasy rules being used in events. I'm guessing that applies to things like the artefacts too?<br /><br />I'll probably be around here some more since i got up the courage to comment now.amazingturtleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01470544043505239669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3921669614910911724.post-22543807634835253442017-10-23T17:46:11.309+11:002017-10-23T17:46:11.309+11:00HI amazingturtles!
Thank you very much for your c...HI amazingturtles!<br /><br />Thank you very much for your comments, I am very happy to know you like the reports and find them helpful too! I am sorry I have not provided any new games recently but I intend to attend a local event this Saturday so that should be addressed.<br /><br />I really like KoW: Historicals because it allows to play some cinematic battles with a familiar system. I do not have miniatures, however, so it may be my next project some day. New models from Victrix attracted my attention, for instance. <br /><br />I also considered using my 10mm scale Successors with KoW: Historicals rules as I know some people do it. It looks really great too! <br /><br />We have at least one player in the local group who brings his Romans now and again to either casual games or tournaments. I believe that in general, people don't mind other players bringing historical armies as long as they are ok with playing against fantasy counter parts. In the events historical armies are being allowed to play too but the rules are still for fantasy version. For example, hills are not considered to be a difficult terrain.<br /><br />Another impression I read about is that it may be more challenging to play with historical armies against the fantasy ones. In the worst case scenario players who collect historical forces may use them as Kingdoms of Men armies instead with exactly the same units they already have. <br /><br />I guess there is no harm in asking your local players if they are interested in such games and if you intend to attend the event just drop a message to the organizers about it. <br /><br />Which historical period are you interested in and what faction do you collect/plan to build?<br /><br />Thanks again for your kind words and don't hesitate to comment more often! I am always looking for feedback :)<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />Swordmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735639525894232458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3921669614910911724.post-67123787759348408992017-10-23T11:45:16.501+11:002017-10-23T11:45:16.501+11:00Thank you for that summary! i've been reading ...Thank you for that summary! i've been reading your blog for a while, i really enjoy your style of writing battle reports: it's one of the things that's been getting me interested in playing the game myself to be honest. And it's neat for a newcomer like me to see what's been going on for a while.<br /><br />I'm trying to learn more about the Historical side of the game myself. I wonder how much that book has had acceptance in the wider Kings of War community, i like it personally but it's hard to tell.<br /><br />But that's another subject.

Podcasts are great for painting sessions, I just need to do it more often and regularly :) <br /><br />What's also funny is that when I wrote the post down I immediately started thinking about other things I haven't mentioned yet. Hm, I may try to edit the post later ... or maybe just leave it for now and get back to the topic next year?Swordmasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09735639525894232458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3921669614910911724.post-65700565662777061572017-10-16T18:33:30.278+11:002017-10-16T18:33:30.278+11:00I agree with you.
