Real Warfare 1242 Game  Play Overview: Russia during the XIII century was a huge state, much larger than any other European country. Split by internal conflicts, and yet standing strong against numerous outer threats, it was attacked by the infamous Mongol Horde. They came suddenly and pierced through the country like a blazing arrow. The native people fought valiantly, led by a fierce warrior and prince, Prince Alexander Nevsky.

Well, I wanted a good game and I got one! Not having a definite idea I decided to roll dice to pick and layout terrain items such as hills, woods, buildings and road entry points and to deploy all my ready Origawn Rebellion forces.

While I could pack up and go tomorrow, there is still  a lot I'd like to do to get ready and it looks like the next week at least will  be ideal for much needed yardwork and gardening. Two expected down days have been compromised by  unexpected domestic duties. There has been some time to work on honing my 54mm rules but not enough time to get play more than a turn or two.  I really like the way the game is  heading though with a blend of old and new ideas but soon I need to haul my mind away from matters toy soldier and back to preparing terrain and figures for Huzzah. Don't be fooled by the absence of a grid, this game is intended to be able to played either on or off grid. Having gotten the scale monster our of my head for a bit, I've settled on a 4 figure "company" as the basic unit. ( Essentially what fits in a 4" square. ) This may be independent or be grouped into "battalions" of 2-4 companies. A coup...
