Half-Distance Mode Now Available on Army Forge!
Sometimes it' s difficult to find one of the recommended 6’x4’ or 4’x4’ tables to play on. But with the newly released Half-Distance Mode in Army Forge, you can move your minis from the game table to the kitchen table, living room table, or more! Using the salt and pepper shakers for terrain, however, remains optional.
Originally released as Kitchen Table Games in the Advanced Rulebooks, Half-Distance mode lets you play on smaller tables by simply halving all the distances used in the game. Movement is 3 inches by default instead of 6 inches, all ranges are halved, and all distances in every special ability is also halved. The OPR Team uses this mode of play frequently, including at our most recent all team meeting in Lisbon last year.
But we found that having to do all the math in your head, while easy to do, often slowed the game down or was sometimes forgotten in the heat of the moment! With the option now built into Army Forge, our free web app that supports all of our games, playing on a tiny table will be a breeze!
All you have to do is turn on the option in the Game Settings menu and all the math on your units will be halved automatically!
Let's take a look at how this would affect one of our units in the game. The Ratmen Night Scouts equipped with Bows would normally have a 24” range, but here you can see that the range on their stat card has been automatically halved to 12”. But that isn’t all! Lets take a peek at how their special rules have been changed:
The Night Scouts of course have the Scout rule, now correctly converted to 6”. They also have the Ratmen universal rule Scurry, letting them move an extra 1” on advances, rushes, and charges and the distance mentioned in their Stealth special rule has been changed from 9” to 4.5”.
This new mode is available now, for free, in Army Forge! So jump in, make an army, and go play some half-sized games today!
Happy Wargaming!
