WARBAND: Fantasy Tabletop Wargame Rules

1-208970

Warband provides all the rules you need to bring great battles between fantasy armies to your tabletop. Using miniature figures and terrain, you can fight battles from the glorious sword and sorcery epics you've read about. Whilst the rules have been written with the 10mm Pendraken Miniatures ranges in mind, there's no reason why you can't use other scales as well!

Warband is designed to be simple to learn and difficult to master, and so it uses a single consistent task resolution method throughout the rules. Whether you're trying to get a unit of warriors to move, seeing how effective it's shooting or fighting is, or how well it has defended itself, you'll be using the same dice pool mechanism. You determine the number of dice to roll and each result of 4+ is a success. The more successes you roll, the better your units will do, and the more likely you are to win. Simple!

Of course fighting a good tactical battle, getting your units into advantageous situations, and making effective command decisions will mean you'll be far more likely to win. Coming up with effective tactics for your chosen army to defeat your opponents is what will take you time to master. See review in Miniature Wargames Issue 387.
