The War of the Roses game begins.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Friday night at our club meeting, Chris ran a game using Feudal Patrol. \u00a0Feudal Patrol is the under-development version of Combat Patrol(TM) that is more for mediaeval games (or games in which there is more melee than shooting). \u00a0This is still very much under development, but it is at a stage where it is playable.<\/p>\n

The game involved a baggage train that was desired by both sides. \u00a0Seeing armies approaching, the civilian drovers bugged out, leaving the wagons and supplies for either side to loot.<\/p>\n

I have play test card decks that are in their fourth revision. \u00a0I think they are getting pretty stable. \u00a0One thing I am thinking about changing as a result of the game on Friday is armor. \u00a0Right now, if the hit location icon is red, the target’s shield doesn’t count. \u00a0If the hit location is yellow, it does count if that area is covered by the shield. \u00a0I was thinking about making two or three of the icons black. \u00a0In this case it would be that lucky hit that cancels out all armor.<\/p>\n

We had some questions about how cavalry works. \u00a0I think we just need to re-read the original rules on cavalry and the modified rules in the Napoleonic supplement. \u00a0As much as possible, I’d like to keep the cavalry rules in Feudal Patrol the same as the Napoleonic supplement for Combat Patrol to avoid confusion.<\/p>\n

In general, I think people were pleased with the rules.<\/p>\n
