Battleground: Fantasy Warfare
is a point-based miniatures game – but without the
miniatures. Battleground uses cards rather than painted
models to represent your forces. This means a much lower
price as well as easier transportation and setup, but don’t
be fooled – this is not a “light” war
game or a CCG. Battleground is a serious, award-winning
wargame that will challenge you at every step, from army
design and deployment to tactical maneuvers and command
decisions until battle’s end.

About this item: The Men of Hawkshold are Battleground’s first human army. The Hawks, as they are commonly known, are well-trained and highly disciplined. As General of a Hawk army, you have a broad range of infantry troops at your disposal, ranging from inexpensive (but highly unreliable) peasant mobs to foot knights with sword and shield or two-handed greatswords. Your pikemen are particularly skilled at fighting enemy cavalry and large monsters and your longbowmen are without peer as ranged attackers. You also have the widest range of cavalry units, from lightning-fast scouts to knights in plate mail astride barded warhorses. The Hawk army’s special ability is Bravery – you inspire your troops to fight even when death seems imminent. For one command action you can increase a unit’s courage by three. Bravery lasts until the unit rolls above its base courage during a rout check.

Elves of Ravenwood Starter Set
Item
Code: BG03
About this item: The Elves of Ravenwood are a faction of wood elves, imbued with the magic of forest spirits. Ravenwood’s elves are highly skilled but generally unarmored, making them hard to hit but vulnerable to damage. As a commander of Ravenwood, you have a large number of allied forces ready to join your army, ranging from tiny Brownies to mighty Treants and Centaur cavalry. Some elves have bonded closely with the bears and wolves of Ravenwood and have taken on part of their animal’s nature over generations. Their familiar animals are also ready to do battle at your side, although your ability to control them will be greatly limited unless your army also contains a unit of the appropriate ‘Kin’. The Ravenwood army ability uses Spirit Guidance to make their weapons strike true. Spend one Command Action to mark the Spirit Guidance icon on a unit’s stat bar; you may then erase that mark at any time to turn a single attack die into a 2.

To make things worse for your opponent, you can Reanimate damaged units, spending command actions to heal damage.

Dwarves of Runegard Starter Set
Item
Code: BG07
About this item: The Dwarves of Runegard combines mighty infantry units with the power of magic runes kept sacred over countless generations. Whether veteran Longbeards, units of miners called from the depths of the mountains or legions of Battleaxemen, the forces of Runegard yield to no army. Many of the Dwarven command cards bring to life an ancient system of rune-based magic, infusing your units with courage while simultaneously strengthening them in combat. In addition, as the general of Runegard you may spend a command action to empower a unit with the rune of Uruz, providing the unit an extra attack die – which lasts until the unit routs or is destroyed.

Orc Army Starter Set
Item
Code: BG09
About this item: Orcs are vicious and aggressive and everything about the Orc army reflects this, from your units to your command cards to your special ability. As general of the Orc army you will keep your enemies constantly on the defensive and no faction is better at turning a break in the enemy line into victory. Skillful (but often cowardly) goblins round out your basic forces and mighty regenerating trolls are an almost unstoppable force. As the leader of the orcish horde you can Lash your troops. For one command action, Lashing a unit increases its movement class by one and gives it an extra attack die for the turn. When battle lines turn into rough melee, this ability will let you take quick advantage of broken formations or routing enemy units, sending your troops in quickly to flank or pinch the enemy.
