The world...

The known world is formed by three big continents: Ipeiro, Amam and Atlantis, there exist three main cultures Kemet, Hellas and Parsa.

The three continents are very different between them, Amam is a big desert, plenty of ancient ruined building. Iperio is a glowing continent with a Mediterranean climate, with the highest population taxes. And Atlantis is the oldest continent, populated by the self-proclaimed "Sons of the Stars", and ancient civilization, who is into decline after a plague decimated the area. They are very xenophobic, so they persecute any invader from the other continents.

 The cultures have special aspect, that I would like to explain:
 - Hellas, they are the sons and daughters of the gods of Mytikas, the biggest mountain in the continent. They are very similar to the Classical Greeks from our world.

 - Parsa, they call themselves "the first humans", because they are convinced that they are the first inhabitants of the lands. They are very similar to the Achaemenid Persians form our world.

 - Kemet, they are the inhabitants of the big desert of Amam, they are very similar to the New Kingdom of Egypt.

 And in this place will happen the adventures...

Land of Gods...

Any good story begins with a good map and a good idea, so let's start this new campaign, with all these things:

 - A good idea, I love the ancient Greek and Egypt mythology, with the forgiveness of the Tolkien fans, in my opinion, Zeus and Ra laugh at Eru's and the Ainur's faces. The depth and variety of these mythologies outweigh Tolkien and his Nordic adaptations. For this reason, I want to focus my campaign in these setting.

 - A good map, after looking for a lot, I have found the web that let me create and modify the map for my campaign, from the size of the land mass, to the name of each city or river. This perfect place is: https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/ I have been working on it, and I have the map that I need, something like this:

 - A good rulebook, I am sorry, but I haven't found any rulebook that could hit the Ed THW books, his system to create enemies and set up the scenario is incredible, the only element that suffers is that the profiles of the troops are, in my opinion, sometimes too simple when you need to play a complex character; but for this is Craig with his Blood Eagle and In Her Majesty Name, to arrange the afternoon, so I will use both rules equally. So I will use both regulations to solve the skirmishes and I hope that also battles.

 - A good fistful of miniatures, one of the things that demotivate me is the use of tons of miniatures because I don't have the time neither space to have all of them. With these rulesets, the skirmish will be with around 5-10 miniatures per side, a quantity that is really suitable for me. In the other hand, I participated in the Mythic Battles Pantheon KS so I have a bunch of mythological creatures ready to hunt the heroes.

 - A good motivation, having painted most of the miniatures required, I am ready to start to play scenarios and advance in the Land of Gods Campaign.

 I hope that all you enjoy the campaign as much as me!

 

Armours in Blood Eagle for the Greek Clasical period and before

Blood Eagle is a great ruleset suitable for a lot of period, not only the Vikings invasions, I am planing a more classical period, with Hoplons and muscled men fighting to defend their polis, or warriors from the hot desert near the Nile... here are the armours stats:

Ordinary clothes	7
Linen armour Crescent armour shield	8
Linen + Diplon shield Leather armour Hoplon shield Bronce pot + Greaves and Bracers	9
Linen amour + Hoplon Linen amour + Bronce pot Dyplon shield + Greaves and Bracers Leather armour + Dyplon Bronze Cuirass	10
Hoplon shield + Bronze pot + Greaves Linen armour + Dyplon shield + Greaves Leather armour + Hoplon shield Leather armour +Bonze pot + Greaves Bronze cuirass + Dyplon	11
Linen armour + Hoplon shield + Bronce pot Leather armour + Dyplon shield + Bronze pot Bronze cuirass + Hoplon shield Bronze cuirass + Bronze pot	12
Leather armour + Hoplon shield + Bronce pot Bronze cuirass + Bronze pot + Dyplon shield	13
Bronze cuirass + Hoplon shield + Bronze pot	14

IHMN and Blood Eagle, what does mean the number of the stats? And what about big units?

STATS
   After playing a lot IHMN and Blood Eagle, a newbie player asked me, what does mean the number of the stats, I answered him "What's???", yes... he answered, when do you know that you want to put a stat of +1 or +3 in a stat?

 Before that day, I was putting the stats haphazard, causing that more times that I wanted, the troops were unbalanced, overcharged... and definitively frustrating.

 After that, I decided that was necessary to establish a range and a clear demarcation for each stat, and here are the results. 

 The number of the stats goes from +0 to +5, but nowhere in the book is said what value could be assign, in the blog of the author you can find a very relaxed guide to create your own troops, for that reason, I think that this could be interesting not only for newbie players, but also for veterans...

 Considering that a villager (BE.52) has a value of 0 in his combat stats, and a Veteran Warrior a +3, we can establish that:
Value 0: These are ill, infirm or very young characters with little experience or hope.
Value +1: These are characters with limited combat experience or desire to fight.
Value +2: These are reliable men and women of some experience that usually make up the bulk of an army.
Value +3: These are veterans of numerous successful encounters. The Veterans.
Value +4: Characters of great renown whose exploits are spoken in awe.
Value +5: This value is reserved for incredible creatures, demons, and legendary heroes.

            With this, we can take a look in the Robin Hood stats, where a +5 is given to his Shooting stat, Little John is well known by his strength and has a +4 for Combat stats.

After this explanation, I continue trying to adapt this ruleset to be played as a Dungeon Crawler....

BIG UNITS

 

            Meanwhile, we can play these rulesets with units commanded by leaders, how can we do that? In a very easy way, we will assign one leader to a group that will move as a only miniature on the battlefield, and when arrives the moment of the combat, you just have to roll as much dices as miniatures are in the unit, and assign the impacts into the enemy unit. If you have a leader with a improved stats, you can use a different colour for his attack, or fate test.

 Nothing more! Easy and fast....
