Greetings Blood and Spectators,
I need your help.
Osprey Games has graciously agreed to publish the rules for Wars of the Republic. Wars of the Republic is an Ancients game focusing on the Roman forces and their foes fromt he founding the Republic until the end the Republic. This is a broad stretch of history where the Roman army went through a great deal of structural change. This was augmented by the changing nature of a variety of enemies she faced. These rules will be heavily based on my previous Osprey work, Men of Bronze. The final rules manuscript is due the summer of 2020 for publication in 2021.
If you look on the blog, you can see how I have playtested and worked on the rules for varius periods including early Rome, the Successor period, and the Slave Revolt of Spartacus, but I need a handful of play testers to help me out with new lists and to test the core mechanics. This is a complicate ruleset with a number of moving parts and I need additional help tweaking the core mechanics so it is more than the sum of its parts.
Here is specifically what I need help with:
1. Testing a couple of different mechanics
2. Balancing Lists, Scenarios, and Historical Scenarios
4. Testing alternate formations/special rules
5. Editing rules for clarity in wording and elucidation
If you are willing to help out I will provide the following:
1. Beta Copy of the rules
2. Testing Brief with specific situations and ideas to test
3. Paper templates
4. Feedback mechanisms
5. Acknowledgements in the final product
If you are interested in giving this test a go, please reach out to me via PM on this messageboard with your name, Email address, a brief list of wargames you play, and any relevant experience. I will only need about a half dozen play testers to help me out.
Example PM:
Name: Bob Jones
Email: Not_a_Real_Email@gmail.com
Wargames: To The Strongest, Men of Bronze, Mortal Gods, and Hail Ceasar
Experience: Played in an Ancients club for 5 years prior
I look forward to your help.
