Got in two games of Lion Rampant this past Saturday. Table top was 6'x4'.
My opponent had a 24 point army patterned after his study of Scandanavia during late middle age/early renaissance. He had two mounted crossbow units, two fierce foot, two bidowers, and a unit of crossbows. I opted to use my German army with its mounted men-at-arms, mounted crossbows (yes, those are the ones ... lol), two units of foot sergeants, and a unit of crossbows with pavise.
The first game was more a matter of getting re-adjusted to the rules and the German army list. We scattered 4 buildings as obstacles, two forests, and two hills. I wasn't coordinating my troops properly, and relearning the rules was easy, yet effected game play, and I lost in a straight up fight.
In the second game, using the same two armies, we rolled on the charts for a scenario and it was Bloodfeud, me being the defender. The attacker must kill my leader to win. Terrain used two large fields for rough ground in the center, two hills in defender's half of board, one building to one side of the center fields, one large forest to the other side straddling the center line of the the board. We alternated placing terrain and then allowed the defender to move one piece up to 12 inches in any direction (one of the hills moved closer to my area of defense). I put my leader in with the mounted men-at-arms, and used them heavily this time, and much better co-ordination between units, but he slowly picked off figures, and I eventually lost my leader, too. It was a much closer game and it came down to the very end, with only 6 units remaining on the board.
The fierce foot weren't overly weighted and seemed like a balanced unit. The bidowers can be quite the tricky units. I liked having the pavise with my crossbows. Initially forgot about how the mounted units of 6 figures use 12 dice anyway, and then 6 at half strength, but thank goodness they do or the horse units wouldn't be close to being useful.
Playing these got me motivated again to get cracking on my hobby storage unit, and get back to doing some painting asap.
