Warstuff, First Impressions

Warstuff is a completely genre neutral wargame for quick battles from OnePageRules under their "One Off" games section. You can play virtually anything with these rules. From dinosaurs to futuristic space battles, it can be done with just one page of rules. On the second page, it has unit creation rules with abilities. They are also free!

Kicking off 2021 the right way? Vikings vs Saxons!

Disclaimer: This is not a historically accurate account of any battle.

Rules Used: The free rules set Swordplay 2018. It's actually Swordplay 2020, which combines 2015/2018.  I used the Battleboard to Tabletop mod. It's found in the free rules section in the link.

Miniatures Used: The Vikings and the Saxons by Vyacheslav Batalov. Despite not having front and back art, these paper minis are beautifully drawn and most are done from the side to create the illusion of front and back. I haven't seen very many historical paper sets so these will come in handy. I also picked up many other historical minis, including the Normans. I found if you print them from PDF format, 115% scale is right on for 28mm. They have low ink usage, which is nice!

 I have to mention the 2D terrain from 1985 Games' Dungeon Craft: Volume I. Not a lot shown off here but it contains a lot of cool 2D houses with interiors, various trees, dungeon tiles, etc. All are double-sided.


Halkur will be leading a small band of fellow vikings scouting for settlements to raid. He's a rep 5 Huscarl star with medium armor (AC 4). His companions are rep 4 freemen with light armor (AC 2). Let the game begin!
