Oldhammer Battle new ideas?

 

I have been playing Warhammer since zero, so I do know the rules after huge changes over decades, I like to keep up many, many armies and forces and  a vast amount of Battles over time, I looked over the Warhammer Old world rule books, nice publications and   took my fancy. I have a large Orc/Goblin army for  mass battles Oathmark ,Midguard and Rampant etc so forces were no problem.

 I based the Orc Goblins from the Ravaging heroes book and  the Humans from my old Warhammer historical Shield wall book, the points looked about right and it was not to be serious. Laid out a GW map tile, and some old  Dark ages building random, and rolled for each sides deployment.

The game is surprisingly easy to get back into, both sides move and charge  shoot and fight, the human forces were outnumbered by the hordes they faced them off and struck hard the skill and armor giving advantages, again the dice roils made the game, and it  made a narrative in its self as the Orcs/ Goblins relentlessly  charged and  fought loosing fights and there units being wiped out. The Human war masters unit fought off 4 attacks and was suddenly struck in the flank, the war masters unit did not casualty even the man himself  striking down none, and the break test roll is shown double 6, so he was  wiped out and rolling for the remaining units who all failed the Orc/Goblins won the day. 

Fun rules and as in the  1st edition play with what you like and have as long as its fun. Be safe my friends...
