A SONG OF BLADES AND STUDENTS - LEAGUE -



            In 2015, we shall spend term one playing a Wargames League. Much like a sporting league, this will involve a number of teams (or in this case Warbands) under the leadership of inspiring coaches (in this case, Wargamers) vying for the coveted position of premiers.
            Each week, LSCWC members will play games of A Song of Blades and Heroes against one another. At the end of the session, victory points will be tallied, and used to determine the ladder. For the first week, opponents will be randomly selected. In subsequent weeks, opponents will be selected based on victory points – players higher up the ladder will play other high-ranked players, while those lower down will play against people with similarly low scores.
            Only those players who turn up for sessions will play games in a given week, those who do not come will obviously not be able to gain any VPs for that week.
            At the end of the term, the player with the highest total number of victory points will be crowned as the winner of the league, and showered with glorious prizes. There will also be runners up, and possibly other awards much like those given out in such frivolous pass times as football.
            Armies will be provided, and will include the following warbands:
  • ·      Orc Boar riders
  • ·      Teeming ratman multitudes
  • ·      Egyptian undead
  • ·      Goblins (with trolls and a dinosaur!)
  • ·      Vikings and their rather large bear
  • ·      Wood Elves
  • ·      Dwarves
  • ·      Samurai Bunnies
  • ·      Frogmen
  • ·      Beastmen
  • ·      Chaos Warriors (in two flavours!)
  • ·      Anything else Toppy can come up with in time…

A Song of Blades and Students

This end of year program, why not take part in a Wargames Tournament?
A Song of Blades and Students is a twelve-place event which will be run on Wednesday 10th using the award winning and stupidly easy to learn A Song of Blades and Heroes rules set. There will be a 'learn to play' game first, followed by four-five rounds of destructive one-on-one action. At the end of the event, victory points will be tallied and the winner announced!
Twelve separate warbands will be provided. So far these are:
  • Frogfolk
  • Beastmen
  • Dwarves
  • Ratmen
  • Orcs
  • Vikings
  • Samurai Bunnies
  • Wood Elves
  • Goblins
  • Chaos Warriors
Two further warbands will be announced closer to the day. Or possibly on it.
