Little Wars Melbourne 2015

Little Wars Melbourne 2015 is just around the corner! On may 31st, Moorabin Town Hall will be stuffed to the rafters with mighty gaming geeks, gaming gloriously!
And Toppy is running stuff!

Over the course of the day, a complete four-game A Song of Blades and Heroes campaign will take place! Will you help Prince Imraldiir of the Blessed Peacock and his sneaky Wood Elves defend their native oak trees against Goblin lumberjacks? Or will you take sides with Bzak Butt-Scratcher, chief of the Flatulent Mountain Goblins and try to fell the trees for your own fell purposes?
  • Play over all new terrain built especially for the occasion!
  • Play using almost all new figures painted especially for the occasion!
  • Roll dice!
  • Lead your armies to glory!

Have you ever wanted to cram two (yes! two!) Rampage sets together to play eight-way Kaiju carnage? Or do you yearn to experience Tsuro, or the sweet sweet taste of noshing down on skyscrapers in King of Tokyo? Mad Juzzy the Flutis (aka Mr. Abicare the flute teacher) will be running a table featuring a veritable bonanza of boardgames! Rousing cheers!


An introduction to role playing, in the form of a stand-along Dice Chucker session set in Harran! Take on the role (and partial costume!) of one of six mighty heroes, and set out on a perilous quest involving skyships, lighthouses, goats and pirates!
  • Play over new maps!
  • Play using new paper figures made especially for this event!
  • Roll dice!
  • Learn rules!
  • Achieve VICTORY!!

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…
