FUBAR Test Battle

My wife and I played a test battle of FUBAR tonight. I had simplified them a bit - I created a roster of the different troop types involved in our battle (based on what plastic figures I had available).

I created two armies composed as follows:

Unit	Quality	Act	Move	Fight	Def
Commander (mounted)	Elite	2+	4 sp	4+	3+
Leader (foot)	Veteran	3+	2 sp	4+	3+
Lancers	Veteran	3+	4 sp	4+ 2+ Chrg	4+
Cavalry	Seasoned	4+	4 sp	5+	4+
Archers	Veteran	3+	2 sp	4+	5+
Swords	Seasoned	4+	2 sp	5+	4+
Spears	Seasoned	4+	2 sp	4+	5+
Vet Swords	Veteran	3+	2 sp	4+	4+

Notes:

• Act = FUBAR Activation (roll needed for the unit to act)
• Move = # spaces on my grid (I converted to a gridded battle board)
• Fight = FUBAR Expertise (roll needed for unit to hit)
• Def = Defense (roll needed to save when hit)

Each side had one of each type listed above, except for Cavalry and Swords (2 units each). When I tried to explain the rules to my wife, her eyes glazed over and she complained that it was too difficult. So I simplified some more, and we ended up with the following:

Unit	Act	Move	Fight	Def
Leader	2+	2 or 4 sp	4+	3+
Horse	4+	4 sp	4+	4+
Foot	4+	2 sp	5+	5+

Each army had two leaders, one on foot and the other mounted. Interestingly, I really liked this simpler version, and it worked very well.

Full battle report planned for tomorrow.
