This series, the Blind Swords Series, and the Shattered Union Series are the ACW series I follow. I'm an audiobook person, but I love the book add in to the vid. I'll have to see if there is an audiobook of it. The simplicity of this game series makes it so accessible to new players. I view that as a major strength of this series.
16:58 you could have roster sheets, maybe similar to BCS for units. More likely like some of the ACW I’ve seen where you check boxes for each unit, and could put dismounted and other markers. Downside, you have to look back and forth .
I've tossed around the idea of having some sort of master sheet that showed each brigades starting strength point with numbered boxes you could check off as they suffered losses. Haven't tried it yet because I'm not sure I like the idea of having to find the brigade on the sheet each time they're in combat. But for people that don't mind some paperwork, it might be a solution to the fiddliness of the SP counters.
I get it Steve, you know I love Blind Swords. I'm starting to like this CWBBS system the more I play it as a good alternative when looking for a much simpler game. Or, to be honest, if I wanted to teach a hex and counter game to someone new to them.
Yep, they look just fine. The leader names are certainly at the edge of the counter, but nothing is lost like you say, and you can see the artwork and numbers are centered. The counters are spot on 👍
