Legions of War

The lands of the Old World had collapsed. The ceaseless wars and ravishing hosts had used up all it had to offer. The drought of resources only accelerated the bitter determination to seize what little left there was to take.

Life in the Old War was on the verge of extinction, if notby hunger then by the blade. The two most powerful warlords of the land,spellcasters that had advanced far beyond the level of warlocks, knew thisbetter than most. For the first time in centuries these two put aside theiranimosity and drew a truce. They combined their talents to summon a channel toanother world that could feed them. But being enemies for so long, theyunderstood they would never be able to contend with one another. So theydevised a contest. The channel to this untapped land - a world full of forestand metals, with food for their bodies and souls for their magick - would beawarded to just one of the warlords through a contest. They would split thechannel into two portals on opposite ends of the New World and send theirarmies through them. Whichever side was the victor would claim the land foritself.

The creatures of the Old World learned of the truce andrealizing what was at stake, they put aside their differences and swore theirallegiances to a Warlord. Now the portals have been open. Two endless armiesawait to raze the pitiful inhabitants of this New World and crush theopposition.

As your warlord’s most trusted lieutenant, you will lead the offensive in the New World and deliver victory or face death!

In Legions of War, you will build an army and use it to Conquer towns in a race against your opponent. Your Legions, made up of various Clans, will each offer their own unique ability to aid you on this difficult mission.

Your turn will be divided up into four phases:

• Movement
• Assembly
• Attack
• Sacrifice

Movement Phase Your turn begins with the option of moving your units around the board. Different races have different speeds, granting some the option of moving up to 3 spaces in a single turn, like the agile Trolls, while others can only move 1 space, such as the slow but powerful Dwarves.

Assembly Phase This is when you stack Clans together to make deadly Legions. Will you build a Legion of dangerou Orcs and giant Cyclops to overwhelm your opponent? Or maybe the instead the situation calls for a fast and agile team of Trolls ans and Goblins to make a tactical strike?

Attack Phase Roll dice to conquer towns and destroy your enemy's armies. Leverage your units special abilities to amplify your damage. Imagine the fear of your opponent as you show up at their town with a legion of giant Cyclops that roll 8-sided dice and a Warlock with a 6-sided die, but more importantly , lets you reroll any one of them!

Sacrifice Phase Conquered towns offer a strong defense against your enemy. And they also provide a means to victory. But they also supply lives that allow you to cast powerful spells. Will you make your towns fortresses or farms to shape your Legions into machines of absolute destruction?

Table Presence This game was designed with table presence in mind. And what better to grab your attention than the field map of a lieutenant leading an army of Goblins, Orcs, Giant Cyclops and other terrifying creatures?

• The game board is the crude map fitted for such a terrible purpose.
• Columns of dice line the board, making for an intriguing but purposeful part of the game.
• 4-sided dice, 6-sided dice, 8-sided dice. Expect to roll all types as you battle.
• The Legions:The towering, intimidating armies that you will attack with and defend against. These interchangeable vertical columns will make you feel true joy and terror as they move across the board. It was a challenge to invent a way to customize your army that didn't require a lot of memorization or hog up the table but it's been done in this game! I custom made pieces that are both practical and beautiful. I hope you enjoy!
