Another Friday another game system.
This week I had the good fortune to play Alastair with his undead army in Kings of War by Mantic games.
I was playing Forces of the Abyss (aka daemons of chaos). 2000 points aside proved to provide an entertaining battle. This was Alastairs first game & my fifth., so very much a learning exercise. The game is picked up fairly quickly with a relatively simple rule set
compared to 8th edition fantasy. So much so we easily completed the game even with frequent stops for rule clarification. Without question the complexity of the game is the movement phase, not dissimilar to WFB 7th ed with the fixed charge distance.
Alistair had over 160 models on the table, but there was no problem with delays for figure moving. All In all we both concluded that we will be playing more games of KOW, & we have a rematch already booked.
We played the kill mission, and I was fortunate enough to win with some fly moves that Alastair failed to spot.
