Clan War
« on: February 28, 2009, 11:07:45 AM »
Hello

I have had a large shadowlands army for AEG's clan war game for some time now, was curious if any one here has played it. How does the game play? Maybe one day I can even hopefully get a game in.

 I have been tracking down some of the miniatures and rules.The new edition looks quite good.Also been buying some buildings to go with it all.

 Some very nice miniatures in the range.No idea as to how it play's though.Just collecting enough for some starter forces.

Hello

Now you really need to cross the pond some day, been aching to try the game. Got more shadow lands than I could ever use just sitting here.

 If I could get a job across there I would be over in a heart beat.

 The Shadowlands miniatures are cool I have some of them and am busy tracking down some others.

 Also got some of the Unicorn Clan Wardogs which are very nice sculpts.Love the harnesses they have on.Might make good proxies for Chronopia or Warzone.

I've played it for a while (then opponents seemed to dry up).
It is a very nice system, although it does have a few quirks.
The cards add an interesting twist.
The initiative system is also interesting, as each troop has it's own init rolled, and activation is in counting order (so who activates when is never certain), and the Hand of Fate rule for ties works well (whoever has the Hand of Fate decides which way ties are resolved, and the Hand of Fate is passed around every turn so everyone gets it at sometime).
It is a fun game, and I've often thought about converting the rules to some form of fantasy system.

Hello

Yes and there lies my only problem, I don't have the cards for the game. I hope I can make some or get some off ebay or bartertown.

Check out the Clan War Yahoo group - it's been going strong for a LONG time now, and you can probably get ahold of all kinds of resources there.

Hello

You have a link to that group? Searching yahoo gives me a head ache.
