lion Rampant rules Osprey

[wilkinson73]

Anyone ever heard of Lion Rampant? Osprey publishing. Midevil skirmish gaming. I have the book the rules seem clean. I csn shimmy in some romans and some Celts maybe. I was just wondering if anyone here has tried it out. Looks to be a good bridge between skirmish and large scale games.

I bought them, read them and have since sold them. SAGA is much better IMO.

I think they are way different but ok.

[Ponatowski]

Yes, they are completely different. Just my opinion that SAGA is better, maybe I should have said "better for the type of game I want to play". There are some parts to Lion Rampant that after reading I knew I wouldn't like in a game, so I got rid of it; if you like it and want to use it for games, go ahead and have fun.

Oh dont get me wrong I like SAGA way better. Just looking for a rules set I can use with the spare romans and celts i have. I dont want to make huge armies out of them. No time to paint. I think a SAGA Roman board would be cool.

I have only read through the rules of Saga and Lions Rampant. I like what both of them bring to the table. Saga is definitely my Dark Ages go to game. Eventually I will get around to painting my Wallachians to face the Ottoman Turks that I have painted years ego and intend on using Lion Rampant rules. I look forward to Pikeman's Lament (Lion Rampant for shot and pike time period) next year so I can knock the dust off of my Late Italian Renaissance armies and get them to the table. Depending on what Pikeman's Lament is like, I may even use it for my Samurai stuff.
