A game idea: Purging the city

Post by Mielkith »

This Idea came up when we were debating weather to have a game of Mordheim or a game of Warhammer. The best solution we could think of was a mixture.

The Idea is a sizable Empire army sets up at one board edge while the Mordheimers set up on the opposite. The general I dea being the empire army marches forwards while the Mordheimers have to slip through and out the other side, they don't stand much of a chance agains an entire regiment. I would make the Units take a test if someone is hidden within there I value to add suspense. I also thought of placing a mortar outside the city.

Would this work? The game systems are very similar so I am sure the rules could be bent easily enough to mke that part work. Would the game be any good? Would we need more objectives to make it more interesting?

The game would work, but it would go very hard on the mordheimers, unless you had alot of them.
Admitedly i think if my current warband all charged a regiment they could take them on, cept for maybe a unit of knights or ironbreakers...

How about random happen for the empire force to reprosent the huge disturbance they would cause.

If you played it inMordheim using the empire in skirmish formation (within 2" coherency) then it might work.
