Rules Discussion?

Technically... I haven't played a game of Warhammer Fantasy Battle in SOOO long (due to having basically no-one to play with) that.. can't truly say I am.

By regular ... like more often than once a year? ... because I probably do play regularly each year, just quite possibly only once each year!

 

[Michael Stockin]

I mean that is probably about par for the course.

Nah, too busy playing Western Gunfight Wargame Rules. 1st editon of course. 😜

Being honest, I got in 2 games of 3rd ed WFB at BOYL last year.

Enjoy the nostalgia of the old rules set, but been playing other games. My interest is in old games and minis, not specifically that edition of the game.

 

[Fimm McCool]

By these definitions, yes.

Well kind of play it once or twice a year…but its usually some bastardised hybrid that takes bits from many editions and armybooks (often mid army list design) to meet our gameplay needs.

Got to say this is pretty par for the course. As the various editions have good and bad - the first couple of edition were great for random stuff and generally throwing anything into the mix, third edition just becomes too clunky if your playing big games (2000points plus), but great for skirmish ( less than 1000 points), fourth and fifth are hero delivery systems, anything after were not developed for story based games, but are great, for what they are, my opinion for what it's worth, which is nothing.

Pretty good surmising if you ask me @Golgfag1! 👍

I was asking as I wanted to create a WhatsApp group of active 3rd edition players so we can help each other quickly and easily with regards to rules, ideas, models, etc etc.
I already have a general oldhammer WhatsApp chat with a few people from various online places, but from a selfish point of view, my main focus is 3rd edition and I would love to have a dedicated place to talk about just that.


I am of course super happy with here and will not stop using it.

I kinda know what you mean, but I reckon I have forced 8th edition to work for story games through the campaign, and boy, some stories have happened. But yeah, played with only official army lists and rules, by tournament style players, there would be no story. Played as part of a GM'd campaign, however, and 8th ed' can be story crazy.
