Swordpoint

SWORDPOINT is a new set of “big battle” game rules for figh ting actions in the ancient and medieval periods. It has been developed over the last two and a half years by the Gripping Beast team and an enthusiastic play-test group. It was developed with our 28mm figures but, as it employs multi-figure bases, various sizes of figures can be used.
Games fought with Swordpoint involve between 100 and 250 figures per side arranged into betweeen 6 and 12 or so units. The game is designed to play out in about 2 hours after set-up, and gives a large battle feel. It encourages the use of historical tactics and emphasises the need to maintain cohesion in the army’s battle line, without being prescriptive. Unusual units are catered for by special rules which give the flavour of their historical prototypes.

Swordpoint sind die neuen Regeln von Martin Gibbins, dem Autor von Warhammer Ancient Battles 2.0.

Es handelt sich um einen „Nachfolger“ von WAB mit einigen für die WAB Community neuen Ideen und Elementen, wie vereinfachte Bewegung, vereinfachten Einheitenprofil, Combat Result Tabellen, Multibasierung etc.

Unsere Demo läuft an beiden Tagen auf der TTU 2017.

Mit einem kleinen Einführungszenario bietet sich die Gelegenheit in das neue System reinzuschnuppern.
