Field Of Glory Renaissance game

Game of FOGR yesterday at Stephens using a late version (circa 1642) of my Imperialist Catholic Army against Stephen's French lot.
A really good game that turned into a real slug-fest with poor Death Rolls being the.....er........ death of me in the end !
Good to get some lead on table instead of cardboard :-)
No time for better AAR just now, as packing my lad off to Nottingham University today.











Old iPhone pics again so not great

And going at it..........both Reiter units destroyed by now !

Less dense clash on other wing

    I tried FoGR a couple of times. Its OK but we've plumpoed for POWR instead. Indeed we use Principoles for most periods now (Naps, Renaissance, 19th C and we're going to try POW Ancients as well.

      Nice looking game there.

      I also tried POW renaissance, a few years ago. It was good, but there was somthing lacking, I don't know why... Oh, and the Finnish class 5 were killer

      I have POW and liked them but do feel Fog models the different formations such as Swedish Brigades a tad better ie it has a bit more granularity and most importantly my opponent prefers it overall

    Nice looking game! I'm into Warlord for most my gaming(BP,HC,P&S etc.), but I still like looking at cool boards like yours regardless of the rules!

      If you like Black Powder(which I do very much!) then I would think Pike and Shotte would also interest you as the game mechanics are very similar with a few tweeks for period feel.
      The strong point of Warlord games is the ability to tailor the rules to your liking.

    Another fine looking game Gary - I do like rules which model historical formations and reward them. I have a copy of these rules but no figures to play them with :-(
