WIP Games and Miniatures: OBG - Sub-Roman Britain in Stock


WIP Games and Miniatures: Our latest rulebook, Sub-Roman Britain – which is the fifth book in the ‘On Bloody Ground’ series of period-specific mass-combat rulebooks is back from the printers, and as promised, all pre-orders have now been shipped!

Everyone that pre-ordered will have had a notification that their order has shipped and is on its way, and most, if not all, should already have their new book in hand by now. Re-fight the heroic battles of Arthur and Merlin, or the infamous brothers Hengist and Horsa, to name but a few! 'Sub-Roman Britain' features for the very first time our new Character Design rule, which gives every player the ability to create their own characters from history and accurately point them according to their unique options and special rules. Sub-Roman Britain is now part of our current catalogue, with all orders shipping immediately, from stock.


Why should I play On Bloody Ground?

• Each book includes full core, and period specific rules.
• Our rules are clearly written, and use a ‘common sense’ approach.
• Deploying armies is a tactical and challenging part of each battle.
• The use of terrain is simple, and valuable at the same time.
• Commanders can play an important role, but only as part of a balanced army.
• Command points are available as a limited resource to influence the game.
• Combat is engaging for both players and reflects the push and shove of battle.
• Movement avoids tedious complexity, whilst retaining realistic limitations.
• Ranged attacks reflect their effectiveness during each period.
• The effects of psychology are represented by erosion rather than disintegration.
• Army lists are balanced, comprehensive, and easy to use.
• Our new ‘Character Design’ rules allow players to create any number of points

balanced historical or hypothetical commanders, within the restrictions of their own army list. These new rules are available as a free download from our website and Facebook page, and can be used with all current and future rulebooks.

What else should I know?

• We don’t bulk our rulebooks with unnecessary words and pictures.
• Our rules are stable, with no regular ‘New Editions’ to buy.
• Each period book is a complete game, with no ‘Supplements’ required.
• All of our books contain both contents and comprehensive index pages.
• After just a couple of games, familiarity with the rules becomes second nature.

What about supporting the game?

It’s easy to say we have lots planned for the system (which we do, of course!), but an important thing for any game is growth, which we’re gaining all the time as we release more and more books (between 10 and 12 new periods will be covered during 2025), and the continued support from the publishers, which we have via our website and Facebook page primarily, but probably more importantly, On Bloody Ground is our wargaming hobby, rather than just another product set within a vast range of catalogue pages. This is the game we developed to play so that we could enjoy this fabulous hobby, and we’re always on hand to answer questions, provide insights into what we’re currently developing for those that are interested, or just to chat about tactics and army building!

A quick note…

We're also making much more use of our YouTube channel, so if you want to get an idea of how the game plays, why not pop over there to see our regular battle reports. We'd love to hear your thoughts about what we've done so far, or what you might like to see from us in the future. Thanks for reading, and happy gaming.
