Dawn breaks cold and damp on the edge of a European forest as old as history itself.
Last night, your scouts stumbled upon the remains of a hastily departed Goblin camp. Sure enough, this morning their Crescent banners are silhouetted against the horizon, joined by a colorful sea of English pennants flying high above companies of noblemen on their war mounts.
Will the forthcoming battle unfold as planned? Are your vaunted Dwarven mercenaries worth their costly wages? If you've chosen wisely, your place in history seems assured. If not... surely your heirs will pay the ransom... won't they?
In a world that bridges history and fantasy - BattleLore puts you in command of a vast array of miniature troops on the battlefields of Medieval Europe.
Assembling a group of wizened old Lore Masters - men of faith and magic, tricksters and grizzled warriors - is only one of many challenges you'll face. The proper deployment of troops, careful choice of allies, timely spell-casting and good old-fashioned treachery are all important skills to master!
The doorway to epic fantasy adventures, BattleLore lets you relive the best of your role-playing experiences with family and friends, for an hour or an evening of fun.
BattleLore uses the Command and Colours System designed by Richard Borg. The game includes a 24 page Adventures Booklet, The Veritable Chronicles of Jehan Froissart. The booklet guide will you through a 10 Adventure, step-by-step introduction to the game’s mechanics.
BattleLore includes 210 sculpted miniatures, 20 mm in scale, signifying the units you will get to command on the battlefield; From Dwarven crossbowmen to Hobgoblin lizard riders. All miniatures come pre-assembled, complete with their banners and ready to play. As if this isn't enough, this set includes a Giant Spider.
BattleLore introduces the concept of Lore (ie. Magic) to war-gaming. Players must create a War Council - a series of leaders from various factions (Warrior, Wizard, Rogue etc). Each leader has their own set of Lore Cards that can be played during the game. The affects of Lore vary greatly and the element of surprise is never far away!
