M iniatures Characters are Legendary heroes
or Mythical creatures of medieval
times who have their own base.
Over 230 miniatures are included in the core


game. These represent a wide variety of medieval
characters, from lowly peasants to devious Civilians are units that are not
witches and noble knights. controlled by either player. Often, a
unit that begins a scenario as a
Civilian can be recruited by players
to join their army. If this is the case,
it is then considered as belonging
to the player who recruited it.

In all cases, the miniatures have an integral base

to allow them to stand on their own. However,
only heroes and other unique Characters enter
battle alone, so rank and file Troops and Civilians
are attached to larger bases to fight in groups.

Each larger base or individual Character is called

a unit. Units that belong to the same side (or
player) are called “allied“ units. Units that belong
to an opposing player are called “enemy“ units.

Units
There are three broad unit types:

Troops are the most common type of unit in a

player’s army. Each unit base represents a small
group of soldiers or monsters. A base of Troops
has usually either three infantry miniatures, two
cavalry, one war machine with two artillerymen,
or one or two flying miniatures.

Gigantic Attack
Gigantic creatures can perform a type of attack
action called a gigantic attack. This is a melee
attack targeting all units and buildings in an
adjacent hex.

To perform this attack, the

player controlling the creature
rolls as many gigantic dice as
there are areas in the target
hex. Once the dice have been
rolled, the player can assign
each dice to an area within the target hex.

Each assigned result is multiplied by the number

of enemy units in the target area.

Units in a targeted area may make a defence

roll unless the assigned result is Trample.

Example______________________
If a Kill result is assigned to an area with 3
units, those units must defend against 3 Kill
results.

Attack results that are not cancelled are treated

as follows:
