I’m doing WAB because it’s exactly what I wanted - I was after old school rules and the way hero characters are handled. Plus I want to also play WFB. using movement trays it will all work with with Rampant, TTS and Hc as well if required.
This makes sense to me.

It’s another similarity to Frederick the great I have 🤔

‘Shared space, Kanbans... ‘
We should probably all lounge in some beanbags and brainstorm before a coffee enema and then take some down time with some group mindfulness...

The wAB part was the swinger for me. I really enjoyed those old Gw rules.

I'm rather glad I don't do pointy sticks. I don't think COTOTS approve of swinging parties. Nor enemas of any kind.

It is Lincolnshire, remember their idea of swapping is your sister for your cousin....

In Tasmania, you would only do that with your other cousin.

Lot of similarities between Tassies and Lincolnshire and Norfolk (and to be fair, a lot of Gloucestershire/Herefordshire).

But COTOTS does pointy sticks, pike phalanxes for the win!

I agree the WAB rules look they might be fun. I bought them when they first appeared but never got around to rebasing all my figures. I'm more than happy to give them a go - although Paul rang some alarm bells when he mentioned competition gamers getting arsey if your figures aren't based quite right.
Why us? Cos we're 'ere lad, nobody else.

But we won’t be playing any competition gamers and that’s nothing in the rules that constrains you like that
