As folks have pointed out, the "fatigue" rule is applied incorrectly in this video. But hey, at least I was consistently incorrect! At any rate, I hope that doesn't spoil the narrative for you. Cheers!
Hi Pat. Lynn will return. She’s on the road this week. Glad you enjoyed the vid. The editing is very time consuming, which is why most folks don’t do it. Can’t say I blame them, but it does make for a cleaner video.
@@oldhammered Malcion proved to powerful so the council of mages had to do something to stop him slamming other spell casters in the wizard battle circuit.
Great game and lovely models.... However a woeful understanding of the "fatigue" rule which reads as follows in page 11 of the basic rulebook.... "After attacking in melee for the first time during a round either by charging or by striking back, units only hit on an unmodified rolls of 6 in any subsequent melee until the end of the round" So what you have in every round is units hitting once only on their quality and then on a 6 for every attack after. This way you can send in trash units to fatigue an enemy and then follow it up with a heavy hitter who will only be hit back on a 6.... Defence dice are not affected in anyway.
Really enjoying your content and always get pumped when i see there's an OPR game uploaded. Malchion deserves a beer! Just to check though... I think the Fatigue affects the unit's ability to Hit and not Defend. Also, when those Skellies charged into those Spears, they needed to take a Dangerous Terrain test like the Werewolf did. But what a great narrative game nonetheless. Can't wait to see more!
Hi Desmond. I think you’re right about fatigue. I got that reversed. Plus I forgot about phalanx toward the end of the game. Oh well. We do what we can. Glad you enjoyed the vid.
i like the idea of having both sides use a wizard as their sole hero. could be fun to limit list building to force include one since usually theyre too expensive
I'm quite new to wargaming and skirmish battle games. I love the idea of this game but I have the feeling minis are just flying of the table ! Anyway I can't wait to try this with my son. Warcry had I little to many rules for him when we tried last week. Even though he had the time of his life playing with mini's!
You made this fun to watch and very easy to understand too. Very interested in finally playing with these rules with its fun and engaging alternating turn and also playing Conquest with its card system.
I don't remember the specifics from that game (it was back in 2022), but I do know the AoF rules have been updated a few times since then, and some of the older spells aren't on the current spell lists. Presumably some of the army lists have been updated as well.
That is Melkion from the Griffon faction. He was in one of the unit boxes. Can't remember which one. Here's a loose Melkion on eBay: www.ebay.com/itm/265836941530?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lcNKGmIaQlS&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=J7ppHM06TSq&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I’m a a huge fan of Warcry. Great models and about as “cost effective” (not really) as a GW game can be. Do you have any experience with Warcry and how do you feel they compare?
Hey there. We built our Warcry terrain from the original box set, but never actually played a game. Too many things competing for our attention I guess.
hey! didn't know you were northern Colorado based! we are trying to get a community going in the Greeley fort Collins area! we would be honored to have you play some games!
Hi Andrew. Yep, we're about 90 minutes south of you. That's a little bit of a haul for us, but hey, anything's possible. We have a small group that meets twice a month in Longmont. If you want, send me an email and we'll get you and your friends on the email list. Maybe there's an opportunity to coordinate some larger gatherings at a convenient halfway point or something. Cheers!
I'm pretty sure he was from the humans army list, but I just checked and I don't see Power Maw listed as a spell anymore. Maybe they updated the spell list?
Absolutely. There's a "miniatures agnostic" group that meets at Heart of Gold every second Tuesday from 6-9 pm. Next one is scheduled for June 21. Everybody's welcome.
Great video! I want to know the differences between the free book (AoFS - Basic Rulebook v2.16) and the paid version of the book. Is it worth buying it?
You get extra missions, optional actions, random events, rules for command points and critical hits, stuff like that. If you join OPR’s $5 Patreon, you get access to all the OPR full rule sets, plus other things. So yeah, I’d say it’s worth it.
@@oldhammered This week Games Workshop gift the complete Compendium (40 Warbands +800 units) and the next week realease the New Core Rules Book. If you have minis can play Warcry 2.0.
