Broman Reinforcements

The boys in yellow and white are back, and this time they’ve got a few upgrades.  These bannermen come to us by way of Ral Partha Europe, and the wonderful Demonworld line of miniatures.  Their imperial forces can be a bit fantasy cartoonish, but if you know where to...

Ratman Roster

We are going to have so much fun with these little Splintered Light vermin.  The whole pack of them took just under a month to paint up – the glories of 15mm! The yellow primer worked well in the end. The skin tone of these figures has a dim...

Rebels and Patriots: The Scenarios

By far the best part of this game, the even dozen scenarios elevate what would otherwise be a fairly routine warband style game. As with just about every wargame on the market, the first scenario is a simple line-them-up and run-at-each-other fight. These are great for getting your feet...

Rebels and Patriots: Mixed Emotions

It’s fine. I’ve only got a couple of fights under my belt, so it may be too early to tell, but it hasn’t really grabbed me. This is another sibling in the Rampant Family of Rules, and unlike its older brethren, a tabletop general get one attempt to activate...

Rebel Yelp

The subtitle for “Rebels and Patriots” reads, “Wargaming Rules for North America: Colonies to Civil War, and we here in the House of Wargaming are big fans of titles that include multiple colons and subtitles.  We aren’t big fans of limiting our game play, however, and to that end,...

Goblins vs. Bromans: More Desert

The last time we looked at Dragon Rampant, we looked at how NOT to use Light Riders. Specifically, we learned that their speed was negated by heavily terrain laden tables. Today we check the null hypothesis, and throw them against the same foes, but this time with no mission...

Dark Elves

Splintered Light is such a good miniature wargame company.  Clean scuplts with just the right amount of detail, tons of character, and so many options.  Today I’m bragging about my Dark Elf army for Dragon Rampant. Some time ago, I ordered the guys on the left.  Only painted six...

Bromans vs. Goblins: Desert Raid

Dragon rampant has a great little selection of units, all of which are based on how you use them on the battlefield. After seeing how effective Light Riders could be in the Fate of Stormbringer (poor Dubzaron), I wanted to see what a force heavy on the light cavalry...

A 15mm Figure Miscellany

Today feels like a good day to spam your attention with several hosts of 15mm painted figures.  We’ll start with the historical crowd, all of which come by way of Irregular Miniatures.  A unit of twelve light infantry for the British, with an even dozen tribesmen to match.  With...

Settling Down

After all these years of casual gaming, and 30 months of intense gaming for the channel, it feels like it’s time to jump off the shiny new treadmill. A long time ago this wargamer made the conscious decision to turn his back on the FLGS carousel, that relentless pursuit...
