The classic Fantasy rank and flank tabletop miniature game has been tough to find after the demise of Warhammer Old World, which in my opinion wasn't even a very good game. This one has been fantastic; I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the video!

The more I play this game, the more I am impressed by the cleverness of it...and I live too isolated to even do the campaigns, more's the pity. The nearest FLGS even stocks all the Oathmark units from Northstar, but they are mostly used by Warlords of Erehwon players lol. Still...in a 2500 point battle orcs and goblins outfitted with captains , a general, and even a king can outnumber the same points in elves by 50 per cent. Regiments of cheap archers protected by regiments of cheap troops can be a real problem for the elves, who operate better at the troop level. And we are just playing mostly "pure" armies right now. It's a shame the game came out when the pandemic was ramping up...I think Northstar and the US distributors could have pushed this as the new rank and flank wonder. Hoping folks like Dom can convince their mates to give it a good try. I think the game deserves it.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment Kris. I agree with you entirely; Oathmark is a fantastically fun game to play. Elves either need to bring plenty of magic along to their battles or need the help of some cheaper races to act as chaff. There seems to be a lot of hangover from other games preventing people from mixing their races. I am looking forward to fighting some mixed race battles as it opens up an incredible amount of list building options and tactics. Since picking up the rule book a few weeks ago, I have gone to no fantasy army to a rather large force that includes cavalry, troops, and catapults. It has been a blast!

I have two friends who are wargamers, but they are Age of Sigmar fans and I may have a hard time winning them over. I did get them with Frostgrave, so I'm hoping to slide them on over to Oathmark when the time is right.

I am rather intrigued by this game. A couple of questions if you don't mind. What is the lateral (drift) tolerance in a straight line move.? Was there a difficult terrain challenge to the bridge railings?. I am guessing that calvary have a one action charge? Your KZitem standard setting Star Wars Legion BatReps drew me to your channel with an immediate sub. I have become accustomed to (and very much like) your visuals on the combat dice with Star Wars Legion. Or in this format hearing you run through the make up of the target numbers. I really like the way you ground your tape for measurements I also appreciate when you physically pin the unit on your pivot spot. As an old school rank n flanker, my gamer OCD pings when the "air drift" occurs (somehow always in the favour of the drifter). Thanks for sharing this campaign. Oh one last bit: "Run 'Archer'! Run!" Cheers
@heathengeneral2299

I agree about the drift and the hope is with better bases and movement trays to help movement and limit that drift.
@warcorgi3623
3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment and questions Shiro. Let's see what I can do. 1) Technically there should be no lateral drift or oblique movement, but realistically the drift tolerance is whatever is acceptable by both players in terms of human error. 2) There was no difficulty crossing the bridge railings. Unfortunately, I don't have a great bridge in the terrain collection for this mission (yet). Hopefully I can find a bridge which makes play a little bit easier on both players. 3) I am not sure what you mean by a one action charge. Can you clarify that for me please? Thank you also for the kind words regarding the channel. Star Wars Legion involves a bunch of dice manipulation through cover mechanics, aim tokens, dodge tokens, critical x, etc, which makes it advantageous to show the dice roll. So much of that game is determining how you manipulate those dice! As for Oathmark, it is pretty straight forward. I think in the future, as we become more comfortable with the game and our armies, we can certainly start showing the dice rolls. For this initial battle report, I wanted to save myself the embarrassment of doing math out loud on camera. I am affected by the same gamer OCD you have. It is a blessing and a curse! Have a great one and I look forward to seeing the clarification on question number 3. Kind Regards!

Howdy, I'll have to watch again. My unfamiliarity with the rules is most likely the culprit. My understanding was a charge was a two action activity. "Is that only for Infantry". May be a better question. Many thanks for the feedback. Just another of War Corgi's great features.
@warcorgi3623

@@Shironokaminari Thanks for the question. A charge is just defined as a move into melee by any unit, so it requires just one action. What may be confusing is the difference between a simple action and all other actions. Simple actions are more basic such as maneuvering, firing missile weapons, and basic movements. This does not include moving into melee, so a unit that fails it’s activation roll or just recovered from being disordered would not be able to charge an enemy. Hope that helps!

Great game. I wonder why in both your games you have so few archers? The takeaway from our game was multi rank archers are devastating and I worried we’d have to do something to limit them.
@warcorgi3623
3 жыл бұрын
We are very much still trying to figure things out here and would say we have very few data points to draw upon thus far. I do fear that multi rank archer units are easily countered through magic or the use of chaff but if you don't have a plan to deal with them you may be in trouble early. There is also the fact that the 5th scenario in the book absolutely punishes missile units. That's a 20% chance that those points you spent on them won't kick into the fight. I am anxious to see your guy's next game. Any luck luring your opponent back from the Napoleonic's?

@@warcorgi3623 that's a very good point I hadnt considered. Yes my reason for taking the smoke spell was to lay it down in front of any massed archers but the scenario balance is an important consideration. I fear I might have to resort to solo at this rate, he is all about Naps right now!!

Your comment made me do some reflection last night. Magic is so flexible in this game; it is not overpowering but it can get you out of some bad situations. According to the rulebook, spells are picked before the game. I read that to mean right before armies are deployed, giving you a chance to size up the enemy army, the table, and the scenario before picking your spells. I can tell you that solo play isn't bad. Something about alternating activation makes you make rapid fire decisions on both sides, never really giving you time to think too much about one side of the table or the other.

I see the potential, but the movement seems really restrictive and clunky. I don't think I'd be a fan of this one. If you rotate just a tad wrong you won't have an angle to get through a gap, then have to use another turn to move another 1/8th of an inch, then rotate.. THEN another turn to move forward?
