Hey everyone,
With the release of DnD 5.0, Wizards of the Coast has really simplified the system to the point that I think that it can be adapted for the mini wargaming community.
I'm not exactly sure how much Wizards watches their IP (though I doubt they will be watching a wargaming site). so, here I'll just outline some general principles and some issues with warhammer's system that D20 fixes.
The system uses seven different sided dice, d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, d100.
There is no player turn. Models take their actions in initiative order, turns are counted when initiative returns to the model.
Models have a move action, a action, some models may be granted a situational bonus action.
A model has 8 characteristics.
An action may be used to attack, take a second move action, change or reload a weapon, cast a spell, throw another model, etc.
Different weapons deal different amounts and types of damage.
You can fired into close combat but there is the risk of hitting your own models.
Love to hear what everyone thinks and answer any questions.
