Warrior Battles

Where on the forum can I get a copy of the rules? There are a bunch of guys locally who have recently taken up Ancients gaming, but FoG is what has drawn them in. I've had a really difficult time getting any of these guys to look at Warrior, mainly due to the fatigue counting and combat resolution system. If Warrior Battles simplifies these aspects of the game, there is a good chance I can get some Connecticut people to give the system a serious look.

The rules aren't out yet. Jon's plan is to have a draft version ready 2 weeks before Fall In.

And yes, WB is designed to appeal to FoG people.

Peter -

- bring 'em to the Oct 11 Albany event . [You *are* coming, right?!]

[Matt Kollmer]

Warrior at the Time Machine in CT would be nice!!!! They seem to have a bad preconceived notion about Warrior, FoG does seem to have taken them. I'd be willing to help Peter get things moving with WB in CT, I know at least a couple of the guys there would try it out.......
Of course that would mean I'd have to be able to actually leave my house to play.........Heh Ewan!?

speaking of which.....E, your not in Milford anymore! there's no place like home!

You're right, Matt: both about never leaving your house (dammit, we've had *4* Warrior clinics up here now, and not a single Kollmer sighting!) and about my profile... I'll fix it .

Hope to see MANY of you up here in Albany on Saturday.
