By Fire and Sword II: Playbook társasjáték Kiegészítő

Angol leírás

This manual will allow you to play By Fire and Sword.
Within these pages one will find a range of varied and dynamic scenarios: from reconnaissance patrols and raids, to pitched battles and ambushes.

The scenarios are divided into two groups: Skirmish and Task Force, which determine the level of the game. In both Skirmish and Task Force sections,you will find appropriate rules for the selected level of play, hints on battle-field preparation, and a scenario package, as well as how to select them.

What is unique about the scenarios in By Fire and Sword is the possibility of playing games where one side has a significant advantage in the number and/or quality of troops. This book includes the system of selecting scenarios that are favorable to your army, as well as Random Effects and Stratagems, which allows one to offset your opponent’s advantage and fight on equal terms, even if your army is significantly weaker than your opponent’s.

The second solution offered in this book, unique in the wargaming world, is Reconnaissance. Before the game begins, players try to gain advantages by sending their Vanguard on reconnaissance. However, this should be carefully considered as the Vanguard can suffer heavy losses during Reconnaissance -optimal risk management is the key here. The book will guide you through the process of preparing for battle in an accessible, step-by-step manner, allowing you to quickly start gaming.

This book contains:

6 Skirmish level scenarios,
10 Task Force level scenarios,

Reconnaissance and Vanguard mechanics,
Army stance system that influences the choice of available scenario,

Stratagems and Random Effects
