Please take the time to learn more about are current Title Three Plains…

Three Plains V.2.3. (2012)

How does leading vast hoards of marauding Orcs, Elves, Dwarves or Men, to a mighty bloody clash on the battlefield sound? Well if that got your attention, then Three Plains should be right up your street. Three Plains is a Print and Play Fantasy Tabletop Wargame where there are vile Demons to slay, Orcish hoards to put down and Trolls to disembowel.

Time to sink into the Three Plains Backdrop

Three Plains is largely set on the Middle Plain, on the World of ‘Many’. Many much resembles an ancient earth long past and is plagued with warlords running amuck and empires throwing their weight around. Wild and monstrous Beasts also roam the lands of Many. Dragons, Ogres, Wyverns and hundreds more terrorise and feed off the young firer making races of Many. However, these untameable beasts are being driven back evermore, by the fire-making’s cunning and wit. You see, razor sharp claws and teeth or even their fiery breath is no match for the fire-maker’s unfeeling cold metal machines of war.

Game Style

• Three Plains is a Great Conpeling Battle Strategy Turn Base Game, which simulates a Pitched Battle, where two (Plus) Players go head to head with their own ‘Armies’.
• The armies consist of small figures, which you can layout as you wish, creating your own unique style of play.
• The scales of the models is 15mm.
• The game should be played on a Tabletop 4X6 Foot, but any open space of a similar size will do. Also you will require six sided dice or D6s to play with game.

Unique Features to this Title

• It’s amazing but true; all other wargames do not have a system for stamina. In Three Plains, you suddenly discover the magic of having FRESH TROOPS, (you’ve cunningly had held up in reserve) hitting hard, but knackered enemy troops and wiping them off the board! You just don’t see that in other wargames.
• Three Plains has its own psychology phase, called the ‘Battle Stress’, which raps up all the battle stress a gaming piece might encounter during it’s turn. So rather than taking test after test, only one needs to be taken at the end of the turn.
• Instead of the Magic having it own phase, you can cast magic anytime you wish, which really speeds up game play and helps the more forgetful gamer.
• In my opinion, fantasy wargaming tends to be a little Character heavy. Sometimes it seems the only reason why troops turn up to the battle is to get a good kicking from an overpowered Character. Well not in Three Plains. For instance, because of the ‘March Over’ rule, Characters in combat with a unit are simply marched over and killed outright. Well, why should a strange bearded man (wizard) with one or two crummy attacks pin down an entire unit numbering hundreds? Would you stop, I think not.

The Product

With a print and play product there is no need to spend hours on end straining your vision gluing and painting the models together, because the beauty with Three Plains is that it is a digital product and fully downloadable. So in no time at all, you can assemble your army and have it ready for your first game. This has been one of Three Plains’ ‘key advantages’, as when you get your own copy, you don’t just get it for yourself, but for all your friends too.

Really, there’s nothing to stop you from printing off the models for your friends to game with or just give them a copy of the game. This forms a little community of gamers, right there and then.

There are other card based war games out there, but Three Plains really does looks a lot nicer than a lot of them out there. Just underneath is an example of a Mercenaries of Many Gaming Piece after it has been assembly. Just take a look at the quality of the gaming print. Very few can match it for it’s attention to detail and the complexity of the model making. So come on now, put that lazy printer to work and use it to create your own great looking models right now.

The Three Plains Rulebook V.2.3. (2012)

This book is the most important book of the Three Plains series, because it contains all the general rules for the game. So without it, the game just cannot be played and none of the Army Lists will make any sense.

Tips on Playing the Game

• The rules to this game are much bigger than your ordinary print and play game and so it will take you a while to read through and understand them, as they are quite comprehensive. If you get stuck or just don’t understand a rule, feel free to contact me at admin@epicwargaming.com and I will do my best to help you out.
• This is really important, after reading the rules, plan to have a ‘small’ game of about 500 points either side. Because, even though cutting out and sticking the models together is much faster than plastic models making, it will still take you some time to create a medium to largish army. The best way is to start small and then add units, beasts and characters pieces as and when you need them. This way, you will have a massive army to play about with in no time at all.

Hehe… For me, Magic Items really make this game, but if you’re just starting out, you’re best avoiding them at first, as getting to grips with the basic rules is more important. Overtime though, slowly add them in and watch as your evil plans unfold in front of your opponent. By the way, Magic Items are powerful things on their own, but when put together in certain combinations and played at certain times in the game, they can be devastating!
 

Three Plains Game Reviews

The Shell Case

…“I think the all important clue is in the publisher name. Epicwargaming. TTP is an epic wargame. It’s scale is epic. It’s rules are epic. The fact that you can print off, in theory, limitless numbers of figures means the games are epic. It is, simply, epic.

My first thought was that TTP would really appeal to historical and fantasy gamers, and although that’s true, I think I’d be selling the game short because it is actually really very good. It’s background is rich and will only get better as Dave works on it over the iterations. The rules make sense and the volume of them isn’t really a problem, I’m just lazy. The armies are diverse, and the range of units broad. Combined with the fact that it’s free to make more means that you can have some absolutely mental games. 

As I say, The Three Plains is an epic game. In scope, scale, ambition and passion. Everyone go to the Epicwargaming and download it, play it and love it”... Click HERE to see the full review.

The Three Plains may seem like every other tabletop war game you’ve played, but you get more satisfaction from it than other games, there’s nothing more satisfying than tiring your opponent out with weak but stubborn infantry before sending the big boys in to claim a kill that could be twice as much as they are, zapping your opponent’s general and watching the army dissipate faster than morning mist or just completely surrounding your opponent, swamping his units and watching as his stronger units buckle under the weaker soldiers, you just don’t see that in other war games.

 As someone who plays Warhammer Fantasy, I have to say this game is a wonderful option for those who don’t wish to spend the money on Warhammer (which can be a bit expensive at times). Considering that these are free, beside the ink and paper, makes this a wonderful game. The mechanics are great, and though I never got to see the revolutionary Endurance mechanic in play, I can see how keeping Fresh troops in large battles would be a big help. All in all, whether you already play Warhammer or have never heard of it, this game sets itself up as a worthy game, ready to stand against Warhammer for those who wish their wargames to be free.
