Hi,
Today when I read the board, I suddenly remembered tabletop gaming, and find the resemblece with the TW series uncanny. In games like Warhammer you also have regiments, also the immersion etc. I never got into it much, though I do own a few warbands for Mordheim (Warhammer based, but with small warbands of 10 or so miniatures), since it costs alot, but I played some at the stores and at friends.
But when I think upon the TW series, at least the previous ones, I think part of its charm is shared with tabletop gaming. Which maybe is also part of the reason why I am less excited about RTW then the previous TW series: it gives less that feel. It is rushed, whereas tabletop gaming and the previous TW series are slowpaced and give plenty of room for everything.
But enough about the RTW speed, we have enough threads about that. My question to all TW players is: Do you play (or have played) tabletop gaming? If yes, which? Do you agree that it resembles the TW series?
And lastly a crazy thought: Could a TW inspired tabletop game work?
I for one believe that last... the principles of TW is easy.. valor, morale, fatigue and such are all easy to understand and implement into tabletop.
Ah well, I'll keep on dreaming ~:) .
