Kings of War allows for timed games especially in its most competitive form. To facilitate this you need a chess clock - either a smartphone app or a dedicated clock.
Worried about battery drain and also struggling with the concept of multitasking on the same device, I decided to grab the physical chess clock. Jumping on eBay I quickly found a multitude of sellers out of China, offering what appeared to be the same model.
Branded "Leap", it is a nice compact model in a dark brown-black plastic. The instructions are easy to follow and you can either count up or count down (with an alarm when it times out). It requires one A size battery.
Very economical too. It cost me NZD$25 (USD$16) including post from China.

DeleteNo....he is purely there for ratty goodness!
Nice. When I decide to buy something like this I always wonder if it's worth buying a few more and on-selling them to break even on the cost and postage.
ReplyDeleteAlways think that timers impact more on horde armies like gobbos and ratkin.
ReplyDeleteThat argument has been advanced as part of the reason low unit count armies were more popular at UK CoK. I've got a couple of Ratkin games lined up so I'll see if the timed game is an issue now I've got the mechanics down
