	Description Edit \| History

This is the historical version of the Battleground system that was launched with Battleground: Fantasy Warfare. Both versions use the same rules set.

Battleground is a tabletop tactical wargame that uses cards rather than painted models to represent your forces. You can expand with reinforcements and new armies, but Battleground is non-collectible so each army is easy to complete. The first historic factions, Rome and Carthage of the Second Punic War, are due out in June 2009.
