I totally agree about the activation rolls - another one a lot of the locals had issue with is the 3" between units. The latter can easily be house-ruled, but the activation is a particular hindrance more often than not. That all said, it's a good "Beer & Pretzels" set of rules IMO. Great looking figures and game, BTW.

We had considered allowing the leader to give a +1 activation bonus to any units within 12" like he does for Courage tests. <br /><br />The forces look really nice and colourful!timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-36210502718655404932015-03-23T20:45:58.023+00:002015-03-23T20:45:58.023+00:00I can tell you Shawn of Rochster was not a happy b...I can tell you Shawn of Rochster was not a happy bunny.<br /><br />I will give it on more go and then try the change you suggest.John Lambsheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598696442104566164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-42281537853818530922015-03-23T16:11:37.352+00:002015-03-23T16:11:37.352+00:00My first experience with Lion Rampant was similar....My first experience with Lion Rampant was similar. We were playing two on each side so if you failed to activate on the first turn then the whole army lost its move. In the end we gave up on this and went for a rule that if the unit failed you could then try to activate the next unit and so on.<br /><br />It did occur to us that you had to try to activate the easy units first to get some chance of anything happening but, like you, we suffered from terrible dice rolls! One of my units never got into action at all and my archers failed to shoot anything!legatus hedliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078980742683576345noreply@blogger.com
