I also constructed 11 pieces of terrain this week for a game I’ll be running soon. I’ll be doing a separate post about the commanders of this engagement later in the week. Two small milestones were reached – I finished all of the 6mm cavalry needed for my RRtK for Thucydides and I finished the command figures for my Seven Years War Project, the Last Bridge at Hoya. The total count of painted miniatures for the year now stands at 78. The Painting DeskĪs with last week, I put down the paint brush at noon and gathered up completed miniatures and terrain pieces to photograph for this part of the blog. Next time, I’ll start filling in that canvas. The scarcity of information on Valkae makes the map an empty canvas. In Asteria, men could be free, but men can not become citizens, own property or bare arms. The three states also treated men differently. The democracy was Asteria, the oligarchy was Nycenae and the monarchy – Latona. I decided the three provinces would represent the three types of governments encountered by the ancient Greeks – a democracy, an oligarchy and a monarchy. I always asked on the group first, just in case someone knew of a previous name. I’ll always be grateful to Sean for this, because it opened my eyes to a large blank canvas.Īfter many Amazon versus Amazon RRtK games, I began to flesh out Valkae with my own features and place names. But Sean Squires constructed a composite map and calculated the distances based on the hexes. There wasn’t a map with a complete Valkae on it. In addition to the two spreadsheets, Ed released maps with hexes.

Valkae has hostilities toward the Brethren, the Capalan League and Riata.

Valka has neutral relations with Altengard and Tropilium.

If you are really interested in gaming across the Talomir world, Rally Round the King is an indispensable resource. One of the biggest additions to the rules in terms of background was a map or Talomir showing all of the known nations, their provinces and major sea trade routes.

Amazon warriors and the elite sword maidens are subject to frenzy.

Their civilization is similar to that of classical or Hellenistic Greece.

Amazon armies rely heavily on fast moving melee troops.

Valkae’s national motivation is one of colonization.

On a whole Valkae’s alignment is with the “Setting Sun”.

The major form of government is that of City States.

The island nation is divided into three provinces or states.

Here’s what I learned about the Valkae Amazons:

Rally Round the King is the only place I know of that has army lists and descriptions of 44 different nations or powers of Talomir.

It has to be one of the best set of rules for mass fantasy battles and ancient battles I’ve ever played. My beat up copy is a testament as to how much I’ve played RRtK. Jus as I was in the middle of playing my first games of WH Armies & Adventures, Two Hour Wargames released Rally Round the King. One Hour Wargames 7: Flank Atttack (2) 2 months ago Wee Blokes. There were no other details other than the name of Valkae and that it was an island. 1 - And a Bottle of Rum 2 - Clash on the Fringe 3 - Mercenary Air Squadron 4 - Morale Napoleon. In the group, I began to hear about a land which was home to Amazons called Valkae. One of the things I had learned about at Skirmish Day and was also printed in the new rulebooks, was the existence of a Two Hour Wargames Yahoo Group. There isn’t any references to Amazons in WH Armies & Adventures, but I could create female adventurers. This book was the first time I had encountered the fantasy world of Talomir. Anyway, to the point, I picked up two new sets of rules – one science fiction, 5150: Book One and the other a fantasy set, Warrior Heroes: Armies and Adventures.
