Yeah, but how does E work mechanically? IIRC, Defense works like an armor save; if you roll equal or under it you ignore the hit.

But how does Evasion work? Does it modify hit rolls?

I know what the other stats do, just not E.
How does resolve work with single characters?


Characters must join units of the same type (unless it's a monster) and effects them in the same manner. The unit benefits from higher resolve and certain leaders have certain rules which can reduce the damage taken from fighting reforms and fighting withdrawals (results of failed resolve checks in order to reform or withdraw from of melee)

It's an alternative to defense, works in the same fashion, not modified by cleave. I belive the intension is for some attacks to be un-evaidable (is that a new word XD) and also provide highly agile light troops (normally elites) to stand a chance against massed light missiles.

In a way. You always use highest resolve stat in the warband.

Ah, so its just another save then. Curious to see how it turns out.

I wish I could be more specific but as I said, the rules I have are subject to change and I haven't seen the real deal.

It's one of two saves, you can only choose one or the other so if you have D2 E1 and you get smacked by Steel Legion with their Great Cleave (-2D) you can try and evaid (if you can)

There is a possibility that Markus has been handed preproduction resins to get painted examples ready ASAP but yes, the retail miniatures for Conquest are confirmed as HIPS (Hard Injection-molded Plastic Sprue)

So...the rules are free.
I was not expecting that. That's pretty neat.

Overall, their site is pretty well designed, and the bit of text that appears when you mouse over the Old Dominions region on the map is interesting. Possible Undead territory?

something.... something is coming...

A darkness is gathering. The fearless Tribes hurl themselves against the Claustrine Gates as their lands shrink. Their warbands are unable to contend with the ancient evil that stirs in what was once the heartland of the Old Dominion...

Just sat and read the rules, apart from special rules and scenarios.

I like where this is going.

Aye, some conventions that experienced gamers will find familiar but when you add it all in with the alternating activation, escalation, superiority abilities and scaling magic (one of my favourites to come out of the play testing) it has a totally unique feel to it

Damn Rick Priestly and Allessio Cavatore both releasing games in the same year, who could ask for more!

The Spire faction sounds very cool, website is a bit over designed to look at at work. Pictures and tabs are popping in everywhere!

Scaling magic was the one rule I called out when I messaged the PDF across to someone else

The Red Book of the Elf King from Lucid Eye Publications. Seems pretty cool, and I'm getting into it. 19 minis max for a standard game - one Thane and 6 groups of 3 Companions. It's kind of on the other side of Conquest - instead of "elves" that are bio-engineering aliens from the depths of space, the elves in Red Book are seven foot tall immortal warriors embroiled in a civil war after the death of their king.

Someone else wrote it under Rick’s guidance (I forget his name but there was a Facebook topic I was reading last week).

Cools, I may give it a look. I'm after a fantasy skirmish game and Confrontation may as well come with a public safety sticker on it XD... Though something makes me feel like Para Bellum has thought about one for the future.

Statement from PB:

"We are glad to announce that our Website is up!
What you will find:

At the moment there is no products on offer for sale and the intent is to allow a first glimpse into our Lore, Art and Rules.
As time progresses we will enrich the material until the launch of the product and availability to sell.
Hint the map is interactive.

The Rulebook.
These are the rules of the game without the army lists for the first four factions.
Army lists and point costs will be added as content later on.

The Army Builder.
As you will notice upon visiting our site there is a TAB "Army Builder".
Our very own Free Army Builder.
This will be first showcased at Beasts of War during our visit in Ireland this June
.

This will be a Web App but soon after launch we have plans to make it into an app for IOS and Android"

I'm quite interested too. There was discussion about hopolites, creatures inspired by Greek myth and mad contraptions such as those sketched by Archemedes and his peers...

Since PB is based in Greece, I imagine they will pour over it
