Description
'Kings of War' is the miniatures wargame from Mantic Games. Designed to go along with the accompanying 28mm Fantasy Ranges the game features players manoeuvring large blocks of miniature soldiers around the battlefield in search of victory.
'Kings of War' is a new concept for mass battle miniature wargaming -- a game that is both easy to learn and fast to play! With few and simple rules, there is little to get in the way of the fun and slaughter. 'Kings of War' is a challenging game of strategy, where you can pit your wits against your opponent without devoting half of your brain power to remember a plethora of convoluted rules.
And that’s not all, the innovative turn structure allows you to play 'Kings of War' using a time-keeping tool (like a stopwatch or a chess clock) to time your moves. As the seconds tick away, the pressure and excitement this adds makes 'Kings of War' unlike any other large-scale wargame you’ve ever played before.
Units are given simple ratings such as 'Melee Attack', 'Defence' and 'Nerve' and then augmented with special abilities that characterise the different fantasy races that inhabit the world. Currently army lists are available for Elves, Dwarves and the Undead hordes.
