Description

[Edit] [History]

The world of BattleLore meshes history and fantasy together - putting players in command of an array of miniature troops on the battlefields of a Medieval Europe Uchronia at the outset of the Hundred Years War.

Drawing on the strengths of Memoir '44, Days of Wonder's newest game takes the time-tested Command and Colors system to a new level and offers gamers of many backgrounds a chance to fight medieval battles with a dose of epic fantasy.

In this fantastical re-imagining of the Hundred Years War, French and English armies are supplemented with Goblins and Dwarves mercenaries and even some creatures like Giant Spider and Earth Elemental! Just as important as the armies you have, though, are the Lore Masters you choose to aid you: Wizards, Clerics, Warriors and Rogues can all aid you with unique powers and spells in ways role-playing gamers will find familiar.

All create an array of possibilities and tough choices that face players as they venture in the World of BattleLore.

This game is based upon Richard Borg's Command and Colors system.

2 Battlelore Point System
BattleLoreArmies 08.xls
A fairly well fleshed out system for estimating 'point values' for individual units, built lovingly over the course of tens of lunch hours. It uses a standard [attack dice]*[# figs]*modifiers mechanic, but I put quite a bit of work into weapon hit rates so I'm rather happy with the current status. The spreadsheet has a section for making your own units, as well as orc, samurai, and the dreaded ninja!
