Product description:
This Fantasy Battle Board Game comes with dozens of painted plastic miniatures, each representing a warrior from a different era, and hex-based hard plastic terrain pieces which can be put together in many different ways.
The warriors include 30 plastic figures, including World War II soldiers, futuristic robots, medieval knights, a large dragon, and many more. Each unit (some units are one figure; some are multiple figures) has its own card that controls both movement and combat strength.
The rulebook features two games: a basic (2 player) and a master (2-4 player) version. In the basic version, designed for younger players, characters move, attack, defend, and have range -- but there are no special powers and some other rules are minimized and/or eliminated. The master game includes special powers, wounds, engagement rules, falling rules, and a few other additions.
A battlefield/scenario book shows how to build five battlefields, layer by layer. Each battlefield may have multiple scenarios, where the goals vary. It can be opponent elimination, getting to a certain space, protecting a certain figure, or holding out for a certain number of turns.
Combat in the game is fairly straightforward. You roll attack dice as listed on your unit's card (2 to 6 dice), and the opponent rolls defence dice equal to the number on their unit's card (2 to 9 dice). Extra hits count as wounds (figures may have more than one wound).
