I've started to create a series of videos explaining how to play Sword & Spear. There will be about 9 or 10 videos covering the different aspects of the rules (which will all be relevant for both the ancient and medieval rules as well as the new Sword & Spear Fantasy rules), and then there will be a few extra videos just relating to Sword & Spear Fantasy. They will each be around 10 to 15 minutes long.
I've completed the first four videos and I'll get the fifth uploaded tomorrow. The others will hopefully follow over the next couple of weeks.
The first four parts of the Sword & Spear Video Guide are:
Part 1: Introduction https://youtu.be/50DU7lylob0
Part 2: Set-up and Deployment https://youtu.be/jo8rlQIW3Is
Part 3: How to Play the Game https://youtu.be/YMmddE7cLIY
Part 4: Movement https://youtu.be/zCvWmZZ9psE

If you are going to watch the videos to find out more about Sword & Spear (rather than using them to learn how to play) I recommend watching Parts 1 and 3.

Picked up this ruleset a while ago, but sadly historical wargaming is hard to come by around here. Like what I've read and these videos helped clear up some things for me.

Also going to look into the fantasy book - might be able to convince someone to play if they can use their orcs

Good intro to the game.

However, Holy Shaky Cam Batman!
