We managed to get a quick test game of Lion Rampant played at the first of our monthly 'Friday Night Firefight' at Wayland Games. Chris (the only one to have played before) and I played some mean looking Highlanders and Andrew and Rob took up arms as axe wielding Islanders.
No game report as it was just a test game, an opportunity for Chris to teach us the rules!
The Islanders were ultimately successful due to a lot of 'wild charges' by our angry rabble...
Some pics from the game -
Excellent set of rules, quick to learn and very instinctive. The disorganised chaos when troops refuse to act, or worse begin to do things you don't want them to, provides a great fun game. Although a 'medieval' set of rules, they seem pretty easy to adapt to any period. There are even suggestions for generic fantasy troops. I have already picked up some ideas for Viking / Saxons from one of the forums and have some ideas for a scenario already. Can't wait to play again!

Initial impressions that this is a very fun game. Yellow dots indicate that the unit has already been activated (or failed too) and the individual square based figure indicates the unit is blown/winded .
Yes played well and with more tactical play than the losing player would have you believe.
One thing we need to use is the dispersed unit bases. Having re-skimmed the rules we should have kept 3" away from other units including our own, with the regular blocks that isn't easy on a small table.
