Great find IL, is it available for purchase now or only pre-order?

looks promising

I bought 4 copies ( free shipping because its pre order) They said it will be on its way. I own all but 2 of their other games and they are all playable. The Barbarossa game and the Civil War game being the best.

They finally decided to go big time so we should all support that right?

Hopefully they will redo their old games with new pieces,

Would be nice to use 1/72 figs; like these Moors:

But I’ll just have to do a map with authentic heraldry and England represented correctly…

The rules are very like Samurai Swords, especially pieces and combat; but it needs more political rules.  Even in this period you simply didn’t just march into a neighbour’s territory and grab his lands.

Maybe a map covering the entire Mediterranean coastline, with the crusades in progress.  Christians and Moslems get a bonus attacking each other?

What’s really needed however is a new version of Blood Royale.

But why? This game covers a huge period of History including the war of the roses and many others. I do like the molds and i guess you can make Rio De Oro and the correct roundels for 1066-1300 and even change them every year as it was accurate.

I read and understand the rules. It is a very innovative system. I was going to add some leaders for each fief and some replacement mercenaries using Zveda 1/72 knights. Currently the game uses the spearmen/pikemen for these and they cost +1.

I would like to add siege machines and some other finished castle defenses that can be upgraded and technology, but i will have to see the cards that may address these concerns first. I want to introduce the plague in the game somehow as part of some special event.

I got 4 on pre-order. I really think it will be one of the years best new games of its type.

Damn IL, Where do you keep all of your games?

[Imperious Leader]

I got a large downstairs bedroom filled with them including walk in closets filled to the top. It is hard to get too.
