BY FIRE AND SWORD II: Playbook

1-202399

Contains six Skirmish-level scenarios, 10 Task Force-level scenarios, Reconnaissance and Vanguard mechanics, Random Effects, Stratagems, Army stance system that influences the choice of available scenario, and Stratagems and Random Effects. Appropriate additional rules per scenario, hints on battlefield preparation are included. Scenarios offer the possibility of one side with a significant advantage in the number and/or quality of troops over the other.

Also, before the game begins, players try to gain advantages by sending their Vanguard on Reconnaissance. However, this should be carefully considered, as the Vanguard can suffer heavy losses during Reconnaissance -- optimal risk management is the key here.
