Ogre + Necromancer - Badlands
If you're unfamiliar with Badlands, you can find the scenario here:
http://www.sjgames.com/ogre/scenarios/badlands.html This was first published in Space Gamer back in the eighties, and the scenario uses the map from the Necromancer game instead of a standard Ogre or GEV map. Great news! Necromancer, long unavailable, is coming back: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...f-the-eighties

Re: Ogre + Necromancer - Badlands
Any chance of a Deluxe Necromancer to use the Ogre minis on?
Pay for is to license the rights for the TV show: Treading Dead (But who to cast as the lead, Orgrethulhu?)

Re: Ogre + Necromancer - Badlands
Unlikely at this time. Our focus is on these classic games.

Re: Ogre + Necromancer - Badlands
Or perhaps at some point in the future, the Necromancer map as another Playmat design?

Re: Ogre + Necromancer - Badlands
Should a "Battlefields II" expansion ever materialize somewhere down the road, the Badlands & Icepick maps would be excellent candidates for reverse sides of the G4 & S4 map boards.
I know it's not in the foreseeable future, but perhaps something to file away for later... |

Re: Ogre + Necromancer - Badlands
I finally played Badlands. Unfortunately only solo so didn’t hide the defending forces from myself or use the nukes since I’d know where they were.
The map is very intriguing, it encourages the attached along certain paths but doesn’t force any particular paths. With hidden nukes the defender has to bet on which path the attacker will take towards the CP, not an easy bet. My defensive setup was a perimeter guard of HVYs around approaches the CP with a forward screening HWZ and 2 MSLs one each north and south of the CP towards the edges of the map. In hindsight this wasn’t a good strategy at all. The attacker allowance of 20 armor units is incredibly generous. I chose 16 HVYs & 4MSLs. Movement in stacks as a pincers from the north and south towards the CP plateau. The result was a complete bloodbath. All PE units destroyed at the price of one Combine HVY. I’ll definitely revisit this with a different balance of forces. |
