Untitled - Mega Miniatures

that you’re paying another fifteen bucksto really round out the game and yourchosen army. This expansion is not assignificant of a release as the base decksand it was lacking a few things that I waslooking forward to seeing. Still, whenyou consider total cost you’re still wayahead of the curve choosing BattlegroundFantasy Warfare when you considerdollars spent to play the game. It’sstill a very good game, in fact better nowwith the addition of specific terrain rules,and one that I’m still looking forward toseeing more from. With the reinforcementdecks you can play much largergames and each army has also started todevelop a little more unique characterand flavor.Review by Mark TheurerBasicsCrusaders is asupplementalbook for use inthe game ofWarlord.

Sometimes a good index can make up for alousy Table of Contents, but in this case, there is no indexeither. In fact there is nothing at all to tell what is inthe book and where you’ll find it beyond the bullets onthe back cover under the words “THIS BOOK IN-CLUDES”.The only saving grace, from what I consider to be anannoying oversight, and one bound to lead to a heck of alot of page flipping, is that the book is short and almostthe entire first half is only fluff, and that’s twenty sevenpages don’t need much of an index.
