Single Battle, starting from half an hour. Campaign, several hours.
It's a wargame where you roll dice to establish and represent your units. For example, an archer unit is 2x1 dice (one column of two dice), a dragon is 3x3 dice (three rows of three dice each). Depending on how you initially roll, your unit will have weak spots the enemy can exploit.
Units can attack enemy rows, columns, individual dice, or do special things (roll up friendly units, take dice from enemy unit and attach to your absorbing Horror, etc.), having to beat the enemy dice values to be successful. E.g., want to take out that archer which rolled 3-5? Do a frontal attack and roll 8+ to destroy it completely, or a flank attack against the 3 that would only take out that die.
I'll host it in a few days when the kinks are ironed out and the different factions and units written down.
This makes msw go "ooh..."
is it god slaughter or gods laughter? Or are you just going to be all Spock and raise an eyebrow at me?
This makes XP go "Heh"
I hadn't seen it that way. I thought of it as god slaughter. But damn, gods laughter is a fine title, too!
