Introduction to my Feudal Fracas Skirmish Rules and Campaign

This video provides an introduction to a new set of skirmish wargame rules I have written, called Feudal Fracas, covering dark age and early medieval combat. It explains how the rules developed out of my Gangland Gunplay 20th century skirmish rules, and the key differences between the two rulesets. It also talks briefly about a campaign I played using these rules, which will be covered in a ser...

Gangland Gunplay: 20th Century Skirmish Wargame Rules
now, your "The History of Harrietenberg and its Enveronts" series kinda got my creative juices flowing and I came up with the "Dartlandian Honor Wars" which will b a campaign about two nobel families in a land called Dartenland, who went to war over somethig as simple as a drunk argument and a shove, leading to a dirty and mudy robe (yeah, turns out the noble Family of Elderstien is just that far away from any reason)... I want to play it out in a napoleonic-ish era of warfare and I even found a page where you can just get pictures for paper miniatures to print out... so yeah: That's for the inspiration Also: I just absolutely love your campaigns, they are so creative and fun to watch
I like the premise, and using paper miniatures is an interesting idea. I hope the campaign goes well, and that you have fun playing it.
Good storytelling :)
Thank you
Perhaps the Saxons will win the day and the melt into the forest to avoid troubles with the Normans.
Reminds me a bit of Tileas troubles but I’m not complaining. Looking forward to catching up on the story
Cheers. Glad you're liking it.
Interesting system!! Do you have it in pdf?
Venison Jack lives to see another day! All this mess over killing a stag!
really enjoying this Robin Hood style story!
Thanks
i have been really enjoying these reports! i listen while i paint!
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoy them. Happy painting!
Nice video, I do like the presentation of the contestants, the lovely miniatures...and the adventure!
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent. Looks like it would work well solitaire as well. Thank you for providing this.
I can confirm that it works well for solitaire play - many happy hours of entertainment!
Great stuff. Luck definitely seems to be with the dastardly Normans, hopefully we`ll see a reversal of fortunes.
These never disappoint! Thank you for another fantastic instalment of this ongoing saga.
Glad you liked it!
a nice story! :)
Thank you
I love this rake affair that's hilarious.
I love your passion and you DIY attitude
Thank you
Brilliant. Brother Beavis, I love it! Not sure how I haven't seen your channel before, but glad I found it. I have some videos to watch!
Thank you. I'm glad you like it.
Well spoken and clear about the topic - which is rare is UA-cam vids nowaday :P
Thank you
Fantastic story telling. I am continually inspired.
Thank you
Those dastardly Normans, they ruin all the fun.
Your stories are wonderful! I look forward to your adventures in your mystic lands.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoy them.
The greatest system ever made
I really don't know about that, but thank you very much!
You know, I often find myself being a bit critical of your rulesets simplicity in your videos, and of the terrain. But what the hell, this is a project of passion your doing. Keep it up man.
Thanks, that's good to hear. I have no illusions about what I do. My painting and terrain making skills are at best mediocre, and my rules are definitely at the simple end of things. That works for me, but everyone looks for different things from the hobby, and the hobby is broad enough for everyone to find a style of wargaming that suits their own taste. That's one of the things I love about it!
Ha ha , you dont sound old enough to be absent minded! Nice vid shows one is not alone on a hobby horse.
Nice. I just found your channel. I do a similar thing in c.1700 Baltic lands. Never found a closer parallel to what I do.😊
I enjoy your talks on rules and mechanics as well as your ongoing campaigns, have a great new year! looking forward to "Tales of Venison Jack!"
Thank you
What a great way to see in the New Year! Thanks for publishing a new video in a new series. You sir, are an inspiration.
I don't quite know about that, but thank you very much!
An interesting start. Someone's getting locked up for that!
Strangely enough...
@jamesathertonyt forgive me as I get entirely ahead of myself. I'm already picturing peasant infiltration of some castle or other to free their poacher friends. Fully appreciate the average gaol of the time would not be anything so spectacular.
Best wishes.
Cheers!
Wonderful. Your skill at weaving compelling, narrative gameplay is unmatched. I look forward to more.
Thank you very much. Have no fear, there is more to come!
What a way to start the New Year, have been looking forward to more of your Tales. This looks very Interesting.
Excellent! I do enjoy your stories and that includes your measured voice as you narrate. You have the best voice for storytelling on UA-cam! I hope to begin gathering my own armies after New Years so as to begin my own scenarios. Thank you for your inspiration.
Thank you. I'm glad you like it. And, more importantly, all the best with your own gaming.
Happy New Year! Your UA-cam channel is incredibly underrated and has been a huge source of inspiration to me. I've sent you an e-mail! Thanks for all the videos you do.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoy the channel. I received your e-mail and I have sent you the pdf.
Very cool! Happy New Year!
Thanks
Another superb introduction to a new series, most excellent, thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you liked it
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you as well. Thank you for sharing your rules and game play.
I wish you and your audience a good new year sir
Thank you kindly.
Well done Ladies.....I was rooting for you!
I almost felt bad for the Goblins... almost.
Nice looking game, lovely minis!
Thank you
Awesome!
Thank you!
Awesome and inspiring
You're a fantastic storyteller! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
I get super excited every time I see the Halfland uploads!
That's good to hear. Thank you.
If you're not tagging this as relaxing / night time, you're missing out. You've got a decent chilling tone to your voice lol
They weren't designed for that purpose, but if people like my videos because my voice sends them to sleep, that's fine by me. I guess I'm providing a useful social service!
Bed time story is a universal tradition :)
what system are you using?
I use my own rules. These are called "Manic Medieval Mayhem." There is a video summarising them on the channel.
Thank you for this. The pace and economy with which you advance the narrative, whilst maintaining suspense, are impressive. You develop the cultural characteristics of the different groups through the plot, without reducing them to caricature. Most enjoyable.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
i was a bloody affair but a very enjoyable one!;)
Thank you
Thank you. That was excellent.
Cheers. Glad you liked it.
this inspired me to come up with my own little scenario, I call it: "The honorable Wars". Basiclly there is a country in which two families feud (mostly over power over said land, but their family values are so vastly different from one another, that they disagree on everything). Now, during a ring riding tournament (which is a real sport in Denmark) one of the houses loses against the other one in the finals. The losing individual feels so dishonered and shamed that the annamosities grow and during the evening a full on brawl ensous between both sides, leading to some pushing and shoving a dirtied piece of expansive cloathing and a decleration of war. I thought about playing this out with some painted up wooden blocks, but ngl: 2mm miniatures sound cool too
That sounds great. It's always good to hear about what other wargamers are doing.
@jamesathertonyt I wouldn't call myself a wargamer yet, more so a friend of the community since I never played a wargame in my life 😂
They lost the fight but achieved their goal.
