After Playtesting for the past two weeks Blood & Crowns Rules by Firelock games and i have to say i am impressed with the mechanics and the philosophy behind the Rules. Although a skirmish game the rules can easily accommodate larger battles. Today we play the first initiative round of a small battle trying to understand the basics.
Mechanics i did not showcase in this video and I want to present in part 2 are the ''Defensive reaction'' and ''Pushing rules''.

The game is currently in Kickstarter that closes next Thursdays the 28th of September
A big thank you to Firelock co founder Mike Tunez and Author of the Rules Eric Hansen for sending me this advance copy.

SOME COMMENTS :
Please note I did not remove casualties in this game as per the rule requirements but I used the beautiful casualty markers provided by the Book . This is a personal taste I like having my units looking visually ''full'' and also it is another options for gamers who like the same thing.

Defense is with a ''C'' in British English and with an ''S'' in American English. I used the American version..;)
In the last minutes of the game (26:40) when the English are Rolling 3 dice [Defense(1) Rule] to defend 2 hits from the French I saved both but I got confused with the one extra defense die and counted one fatigue point. I will remove in the next part.
Also in the first English arrow storm (08:47) the French should have rolled for resolve regardless that they saved the hit. As long as a save is rolled you do a Resolve test for being hit. If no hits, then no Resolve Test

In this video all the special rules i used for this specific battle with these specific units are mentioned at the bottom of the screen and all the unit cards are shown highlighting the Target numbers every commander needed to roll (Obviously the book has many more special rules for different characters ,circumstances and units) .

The favor rule countdown is shown periodically on the Coat of arms of the armies.

This playthrough was reviewed first by Eric Hansen the Author of the rules and had no objections for me to release earlier than the end of the Kickstarter this Thursday the 28th of September
Hope you will enjoy it! ‪@justdiceleague‬ ‪@FirelockGames‬
