Warcometh Rules
Rules Medieval
John Kelly offers Warcometh, a set of medieval and fantasy rules oriented toward 15mm figures. He writes:
These rules are meant to be a fun, non-fiddly, fast playing set. Movement procedures have been simplified (no wheeling measurements for example) & morale has been incorporated into the other rule systems. The emphasis of these rules is primarily on command & the difficulty of controlling troops in battle. Players may use any mounting system & any figure size that they like. The mounting system that is assumed by the fantasy rules has infantry on bases that are 40mm wide by 20mm deep. Cavalry, Chariots, Monsters, artillery, & machines are on bases that are 20mm wide by 40mm deep. The number of figures per stand is not important. This system is the same as used by Warmaster. I also play these using my 15 mm historical figures that are mounted to DBM standards. Each
stand should have a width of 40 mm with a depth of 15 mm to 40 mm as required by the figures. This basing system will make cavalry a little less powerful & is preferable for historical scenarios.I have chosen to place the historical version of these rules in the late European Medieval period. This is the final time period before gunpowder became a dominant factor on the battlefield, though it was already important in siege warfare. While there were numerous conflicts during the period covered by these
rules, some of the best known are: the Crusades, the Baron’s War, the Welsh Wars, the Scottish Wars, the Hundred Years War, the Hussite Wars, & the Wars of the Roses. The fantasy universe that the rules are targeted toward is the Warmaster world created by Games Workshop.
