Although I have had a lot of fun playing Warhammer Fantasy Battles in recent weeks the rules can be rather fiddly. I fancied a change so tried out One Page Rules, Age of Fantasy: Regiments. This is a free set among others to be found Here.
These rules are actually seventeen pages long and the free army lists are two or three pages long. Simple and easy to learn the basic scenario has you fighting over a number of objectives for only four turns.
I got out my Bretonnians and Orcs and had a go...
The game uses alternate unit activations.
The units have just two main stats, Quality and Defence with a bunch of special rules/traits to round them out.
Ugly cussers!.
5+ to hit, not bad shooting.
One objective controlled.
Knights roll over the orc archers.
Crunch! as the chariot smashes home.
Orcy boys getting stuck in.
By turn three the table is looking sparse, units can die very quickly.
The orcs take the last objective from the blue longbowmen.
By then end of turn three the Bretonnians are down to the commander and one man.
A fun game, as this was my second run out for the rules I put a magic user on the table which added to the fun without adding much complexity.
Here is a link to a YouTube play example. Stonehorse Gaming
And a link to the rules themselves Here
I will definitely explore the game further.
