Arcane Battle Composer - rules 2500 BC to 1435 AD Version 1.1 available now! ABC is a fast play game using 12 to 20 bases (or ‘units') per army, with an average of about 42 figures. A fixed table size is recommended for each scale: 90x60cm for 10-15mm miniatures. You can issue orders to a single stand and the average realistic playing time is under 30 minutes. The game shares some major features of other Arcane Warfare Project games, including: - All base sizes are a multiple of the move distance unit; - Combat based on the scores difference (d6); - Few dice used: a single die roll resolves most situations; - Unit behaviour modulated by Properties (characteristics applying to each type); - The INI dice: no fixed alternate moves; - No bookkeeping or markers; What's new? - No 'combat factors'; - No random orders; - Combat outcome simplified with a ‘kill' number dependent on the units match-up; - Miniature basing conventions from 10-15mm up to 1/20 scale (90-100mm). The game is exclusively distributed in .pdf format, including 3 files: - Main rules 37 pages, plus index and cover (total 40 pages) with 38 explanatory diagrams and some colour photos; - Mediterranean Army Lists, 29 pages plus index and cover, featuring over 200 army lists; - Reference sheet; 2 pages.
