Building a Fantastic Scuffles warband

I have been lucky enough to be asked to have a look through a very early version of the Fantastic Scuffle rules from Nic Wright . They are based on his recently released Devilry Afoot rules. Now, I am not really a big fan of horror games but I do like a good fantasy skirmish game. So when Nic mentioned that the rules were going to be in testing soon I put up my hand and tried to get his attention . The game is more of a narrative fantasy game. Unlike something like Age of Fantasy Skirmish you are creating stats for characters, for units that have distinct characteristics. Your Warband ‘leader’ is the leader based on the skills you give them but mostly because you create a narrative whereby they are in charge. There is no ‘Leader’ attribute. I am not sure if this is the type of game for everyone but it is certainly something I like.
