Blood & Steel

By Mitch Reed

With Firelock Games release of Blood & Crowns which covers the period of the Hundred Years War, gamers now have the third game in the franchise as it joins Blood & Valor (Great War), Blood & Steel (era of black powder), and the flagship game Blood & Plunder which covers the early colonial Americas.

Gamers who play all three already know that each of these games shares a DNA that once you learn to play one of them, you understand how the others work. This design fungibility is a huge benefit to gamers who like to play multiple periods without having to learn many different rulesets.

As the summer gets hotter, and June has given way to July, one of the East Coast’s premiere wargaming events is nearly upon us. Historicon! Hosted by HMGS is happening from Wednesday, July 19th through Sunday, July 23rd. A number of No Dice No Glory staff will be there playing games, running events, and buying way more minis than we could possibly paint in a lifetime.

Additionally, Glenn Van Meter and Tom Mullane will be running two tournaments for Blood and Plunder on Friday. Read on for more info!

Huge episode! We are live at HMGS Historicon 22. The guys speak to Steve from Lead Pursuit, Lauren from Casemate Publishing, Jason from Military Miniature Magazine, Lee Gaddis from Gaddis Gaming and  the duo behind Blood & Steel, Damien and Edgar!
