BattleLore

What this is

In BattleLore, players battle through a Hundred Years War with magic, Goblins, and more. The world of BattleLore meshes history and fantasy together - putting players in command of an array of miniature troops on the battlefields of a Medieval Europe Uchronia at the outset of the Hundred Years War. Just as important as the armies they have, though, are the Lore Masters they choose to aid they: Wizards, Clerics, Warriors and Rogues can all aid they with powers and spells in ways role-playing gamers will find familiar.
