I Ain't Been Shot Mum

Review commentary

"I Ain't Been Shot, Mum" (IABSM) is a company-level WW2 miniature wargame by Too Fat Lardies, focusing on the narrative and fun aspects of gaming rather than competitive play. The game doesn't come with army lists but has numerous supplements covering a wide range of forces. The intended scale is 15mm, although it's adaptable to other scales. IABSM is card-driven, representing various units, heroes, and events, with players required to make and print their own unit cards. This allows for great adaptability, but some players might find it a bit cumbersome. The game introduces a 'tea break' card, adding randomness and requiring players to plan for the unexpected. It also employs 'blinds' to simulate the Fog of War, representing either actual units or suspected enemy activity. Units are categorized by initiative dice, which are used for various actions and decrease as units take casualties. The game supports detailed mechanics for different types of troops and weapons, and players can add complexity with optional rules. While some find the ruleset feels like an "80% finished game," it's appreciated by those looking for a more relaxed and narrative-driven gaming experience
