Over the last few days I have played out a handful of fights. These were all done solo while my daughter napped or after she went to bed. Each fight took between 20 to 30 minutes to play. That included looking up special rules and rereading anything that came up. I did repeatedly forget the +1 charging bonus... but would forget it for both sides to keep it balanced. The last few games when I did remember to include the charge made loads of differance. I saw lots more kills and less ties. Over all I would have to say that this is a wonderful game. I am already itching to start a small map based campaign. I do have to say that the orcs minus the shaman and black orcs but adding the hydra tamer and catapult make for a very solid force. They lost out their first two fights against the Sorcerer Legion but utterly destroyed every other army I sent them up against. I ran very few groups larger then 4 stands but when I did I had them pay 2 MP to move or perform reforms. This seemed to balance well. Anyways this is turning into a longer post then I meant to and it is time for bed.
