I have had a few people ask me to give a very basic rundown
of Warzone Resurrection when it comes to table size, model count, game play and
cost. So here is the quick rundown.
Warzone Resurrection is typically played on a 4x4 table but
has rules to expand it to a 6x4 for large games. Armies can contain as few as
12 models up to 30 models, it seems that 1k points is becoming the standard
game level, but some people are pushing that lately up to 1250pts which I
personally think is the sweet spot for WZR.
The rules and army lists are available for free on the
website, so you do not have to rush out and buy them right away unless you are
dieing to know the fluff right out of the gate. So you can literally start
playing for around 75 USD that will get you a faction starter and a set of
Warzone templates.
Warzone uses a unique resource mechanic to be able to
activate special skills or give models extra actions. It really causes you to
think about their expenditure. There is also an advanced version of the game
that introduces a card deck that each player can build. This allows for new
tactics and strategies; adding special Wargear to units, or special skills or
the ability to effect the whole battle field with things like a Solar Eclipse
that shortens all LOS or an Earth Quake that effects all movement and many more
table wide effects.
The game uses an alternating activation system; so you
activate a unit do the models actions then you opponent does the same until all
units have been activated. The game is D20 based so you have a wider variety to
work with for skill numbers.
Bottom line is Warzone Resurrection is inexpensive to jump
into compared to many other major games and has some really dynamic game play
that will keep you interested.
Until next time keep your powder dry and lead flying!
