Needless to say this has taken priority and I have been arranging her care needs. I have been reading everyone’s comments questions and posts and rest assured I will get around to answering them as soon as I can.
Again please accept my apologies for the break in communications.
As an aside I hope you’re all having some really great games of Outremer!!
Cheers

I hope your mother gets well soon!
ReplyDeleteCheers mate. Good news is she’s on the mend!!
DeleteA lot of health for mother!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal! She’s getting better day by day
DeleteI hope your mother is doing well. Our group played it's first game of O:FB. We quite enjoyed it and plan on doing more. We started off with a leader at 40xp and the rest had to be 0xp. Which means, as a Saracen player, I received a sub arif for a leader and the rest peasants. Would this be a correct way to start or is there a certain xp that you start off with, the same as Livre? Or does Livre translate to 1 Livre per xp?

Hi Ken. I’m glad you’re enjoying it. From you’re post it seems you are playing it correctly. Fighters will only start with the XP shown in their starting profiles; so generally peasants will have no experience (they’ve just turned up for their first battle essentially).
DeleteThank you. Glad to here we're doing something right! Our first game was just a skirmish in order to get to know the rules. But the Crusaders gave us Saracens a beating. The only bright spot was that we knocked a leader down and carted him away as a captive. Last week we played a rescue and we Saracens drove off the Westerners. They want another chance to rescue so we will next play a caravan of slaves going to market. The Crusaders can try one more time. This guy must be really important! We really like the campaign and the stories it produces. And I am looking forward to, hopefully, more factions. I would love to see some Armenian Christains, Byzantines, and Mongols added to the factions.
DeleteWow it sounds like your campaign is progressing nicely and there is some great narrative developing alongside it. It’s also nice to hear both sides are tasting victory and defeat in equal measure... I like it balanced! As soon as the day job settles down I will look at additional forces, there are lots of requests for lots of factions!
