Thirty Years War Play Test

Last week Rob, Charlie, Ralph and I visited my friend Ed's place to help him play test his game for our upcoming club game night. The rules are Ed's own design, a very interesting combination of miniatures with a board game area layout. The rules feature an interesting combination of combat and management of reserves. The game went well and the scenario seems well balanced. I was on the Imperialist side which at the time we called the game looked like it was going to be on the worse side of the affair, but with still plenty of game play left. The Protestants, Charlie and Rob played well and focused their force on our right and did well in their attacks. If it wasn't for some very fortunately rally rolls, the game could well have been concluded during our play test.
