Back to FANTASY MASS-COMBAT RULES
Simple fantasy rules for epic fantasy battles, including a variety of basic unit types (gods, magicians, heroes, lurkers, and so forth). Point cost system allows players to invent their own armies. Rulebook also includes campaign system, and a number of pre-generated armies.
| Period | Fantasy, epic scale |
|---|---|
| Scale | Each figure represents an indeterminate number of actual combatants. Ground scale is 1" = 100 paces (when using 15mm figures or smaller); 10mm = 25 paces (25mm figures). One turn represents 15 minutes. Can be used with 25mm, 15mm, or 6mm figures. |
| Basing | The width of the base depends upon the size of figures being used; the depth also depends upon the figure's type. The number of figures per base also depends upon the figure's type. For instance, an element of 15mm swordsmen is composed of 4 figures mounted on a 40mm (frontage) x 15mm (depth) base; a 15mm dragon is mounted alone on a 40mm x 60mm base. |
