Lion Rampant. A short review

Lion Rampant – Osprey Games

Despite not being a specialist in games of  historical nature, this game caught my attention, since it sounded good to be able to handle small games with few miniatures. The main reason that I am looking for this ,is that I want to invest in the game beacuse of the time. Is over for me the occasions when I could stay around 4 hours playing Warhammer Fantasy, now I must better manage my time between family and hobby.

I have little knowledge of this company, when i discovered the game and seeing all the other products I was surprised by the mix range of optionss we have, rules for historical periods a fantasy with Dragon Rampant and Oathmark.

The intention of the creator of the game is that you use the units in a corret way, if  you have  mounted knights, these are played for what they are good for, having mobility on the battlefield and carrying devastating charges.

Accessible to new players. If you are a lover of war games like me, by now the lack of opponents hinders your complete joy as a hobby, teaching someone to learn will not be complicated at all, I think you can have a good time having fun without having to focus at a high level of tactical or competitive complexity.

It is in the activation of units where I consider that the game gains agility and gives greater transcendence to choosing well when deciding to activate an unit. You can see several activations from your opponent, deploys his units, shoot, approaches and makes you a charge devastating, with you merely observing.

In general, the way in which combats and casualties are resolved per unit, seems to me a simple and fast way. Managing the leader of your unit and how it affects the development of the game, seems to me the most complex, and yet it is not so much.

The rules gives the player the option to play with miniatures of different brands.Regarding the miniatures, I find it very attractive that the characters are generic and almost buying any company box like Perry, Fireforge Games, or others, you can arm yourself with units.
