Waken The Storm From author/sculptor Chris Ferree, comes his most ambitious game rules yet!
Waken The Storm! is a Fantasy Battles game system for miniatures. The rules reflect the technology and practices of Dark Age through early Medieval warfare, but allowing for the Heroic Fighters, Magic Users, Magical Artifacts, and assorted monsters associated with European Mythology.
WTS is the only Officially Sanctioned Fantasy Game System based on the classic The Sword And The Flame.
The 72 page rule book, with full color covers, comes with three special full color, Game Card Decks (Action, Magic, & Magical Items), each now provided pre-cut, ready for immediate play, in reusable plastic bags. Full color game counters and Unit Record Sheets complete the game accessories included. The specially designed 52 card Action Deck regulates Movement, Fire Effects, and Casualties, each in the proper game sequence. WTS is not a “Dependent Variant” of TSATF, but a complete, stand alone game system.
Rules cover missile fire, close combat, and morale, all emphasizing the actual factors that helped determine the outcomes of Dark Ages warfare. But the emphasis is on key characters: The Heroes, Born Leaders, Magic Users, and more of Humans, Orks, Elves, Dwarves, and more.
Not more “warmed over” Tolkien, WTS is based on Western Mythology (“Song of Roland,” “Beowulf,” etc) and only the races of the literature are represented. The product of years of development and play testing, no “special, must have” figures are required, no re-basing of existing figures, and simple suggested basing systems are provided for those just starting out. Rules for monsters include Dragons, Giants, Trolls, Griffins, and more, with special rules for each, including Dragon flight! Magic is intended for the battlefield, but its effectiveness depends on the skill of the Magician. Fire Balls, Levitation, Animated Dead, Wind Storms, Thunderbolts, and much more can cause fear and disaster to the enemy. Not enough skill, and a Magical Spell can go disastrously wrong! Magical Swords, Clubs, Armor, and more can also be part of each game, but no two games need ever be alike with all the variables that can apply when building one’s army.
Waken The Storm! was one of the most widely anticipated rules releases in years and is ready for immediate delivery.
