The person that finishes activating first in one Round goes first in the next. You can spend power to do group activations to ensure you finish first and therefore get the first activation in the next round (for example).

Sounds interesting I'm wanting to collect KoW

[miguelangelmorejon]

Great video! I really would like to see gameplays of this game :)

[panzerkaput]

I love KoW though I dont play it as much as I should but actually like you I have an army that is unpainted except for a couple of units but this game I an really interested in as it means I can have the big army game and "character" fight where you are trying to get or stop something. I have big hopes for this

I am hoping to see a follow up video now that the Beta rules are out!

[mattjgilbert]

You can only retaliate up to twice and then only if you were not already activated and fatigued.

Great video! Love the look of Vanguard. It seems to be everything my gaming group are looking for. We're gutted that we've missed the boat with the Kickstarter though. Any idea when it's released? Ross

Great overview! Am playing Kings of War tonight so will make some good conversation. I dont mind square bases, no complaints from my end. I am assuming you can use round bases too?

[GreenStuffGames]

yeah Im defo intrested in this game great video :-)

I've been thinking about skirmish war games lately, just out of interest and terrain.

Question though. How simple overall are the rules? Quick to learn?

The only time I think 1 model should be able to retaliate against 3 models is if it is a large model retaliating against 3 normal size models. Imagine if you will 3 undead skeletons charging into a troll. The skeletons due their thing and the troll is still standing and probably unfazed. Then the troll goes huh oh they must die and one swing backhands all three skeletons shattering them into 3 piles of dust and bones. I see that working thematically. Plus it's good for some mid game laughs.

I’ve got a version of the alpha rules with clearer wording for some stuff so Rob might not have sent you the latest latest latest version ;)
