Complete set of rules for intense, card-driven medieval skirmishes, for up to four players. This game plunges you into the gritty reality of small-scale combat, where individual skill, specialized equipment, and tactical positioning are the keys to victory.
Experience the visceral reality of medieval skirmish combat! Blade and Banner is a fast-paced, card-driven miniatures wargame that puts you in command of a small, elite retinue of knights, men-at-arms, and missile troops. Are you ready to seize the field?
The core of the game lies in its Card Resolution System. Every attack and defense is a high-stakes moment, using a unique card mechanic where specialized gear grants crucial card-draw bonuses (like the Lance's +3 Draw on a Couched Charge) or imposes crippling save penalties (such as the Armor Cracker or Devastating Blow). This system provides genuine Tactical Depth as you equip your models with specialized load-outs – from Accurate Longbows for ranged support to Great Weapons for heavy melee – each defining their role on the battlefield.
This package provides a Complete Skirmish Experience. It includes full Weapon and Resolution Tables, a ready-to-play Sample Retinue, and three distinct scenarios like The Bloody Ford and The Supply Train Ambush and the Joust to test your strategic skills immediately. Master the charge, outflank your foe, and secure your banner!
