Border Patrol?

[DannyBoy2k]

Is Border Patrol-rules going to be included in an upcoming patch?

 

[DannyBoy2k]

No answer means no rules, I presume?

 

[Mandalon]

I think that this is not a high priority. But robert probably just overlooked your thread since he normally answers most threads.

Where are the Border Patrol rules writen? He might not have a copy of them...Heck, I don't even know what race this is an alternate list for...

 

[DannyBoy2k]

Ummmm...it's the Fantasy version of 40k in 40 minutes? Rules can be found on the GW pages. 500 pts battle with certain restrictions. And, in all honesty, I'd say its more relevant than Kislev, or an all-gnoblar army. Of course, I'm probably rather biased.

 

[deathlynx]

Sounds like Warbands or simply 500 point battles...Is there much difference in rules?

 

[DannyBoy2k]

Ummm...yes! A single hero, at least 2, at most 4 units, one rare OR special but not both, at least one infantry model of 10+ models, no single model at more than 125 pts. Among several other rules, some race-specific.

or, as you can probably guess, WD 285

Just checked WD284-287 and couldn't find it in any...The link does help though...I might add that, after perusing the pdf, I have never seen this before...It might be one of the rare cases where the WD UK is different from the WD US...

thanks for the link! it will be very useful. i will add them soon, they are definitely on the list.

It's basically the progenitor rules for Warbands

 

[DannyBoy2k]

Welllll...no, not quite.
Great to hear, Robert. We play it a LOT around here, and it's an excellent way to get more people into the game too.

Border Patrol also includes rule that Bretonnian don't need BSB.

That's why you can't make validate lists for BP.

this is working fine right now, i tink?

 

[Zere]

I'm using AB2.2c and i have latest data files and there is no option get BP lists.

Or i have just not found it?

Wrong forum. This is for 3.x data files only. Try Yahoo group 'anarchistica' instead.

Notice for robert, possibly. The rules for Ogre Kingdoms in Border Patrol are diffrent...not surpsing, since they're a bit larger, and the units are generally smaller.

The modified rules for OK are here:
