Stephen and Andy report on a comparison of two Medieval rulesets.<\/em><\/p>\n

We decided to try fighting the same scenario with two sets of Medieval Wargames rules, Lion Rampant 2nd<\/sup> edition<\/a> and Baron\u2019s War 2nd<\/sup> edition<\/a>. We would keep the armies as similar as possible in the two games, subject to the requirements of the respective rules.<\/p>\n

We based our scenario on the Baron\u2019s War scenario 10 Hidden Treasures and Lion Rampant Scenario 12 The Taxman Cometh.<\/p>\n

In Hidden Treasures the players take turns to place six objectives on the table, if a player has a unit in contact with an objective at the start of the turn, they roll a D6, on a 6 that objective is revealed to be the treasure and the other objectives are removed. Who ever controls the treasure at the end of the fifth turn wins the game.<\/p>\n

For the Lion Rampant version, we kept the same number of objectives and score to reveal the treasure, but in keeping with the Lion Rampant Glory system we decided that if the player controlling the treasure took the treasure off table he would receive 5 Glory, but only 3 Glory if the treasure was under his control but still on table at the end of the game, plus or minus Glory from Boasts.<\/p>\n

We set the terrain up with a small village in the centre of the table, with a couple of fenced fields nearby, with some hills and woods on the flanks. We would keep the same terrain for both games.<\/p>\n
