finally paints the first of his Gauls...
I'm very pleased to be able to announce that the new Crusader rules will be released at Salute 07.
Best way I can think to describe them is to quote the blurb from the back cover:
Crusader is a set of wargames rules that allow you to game some of the greatest battles in history from Biblical times to the Medieval period. Although written with 28mm figures in mind the rules are stand-based and so easily translate to any scale of model. The rules cater for many popular basing methods so there is absolutely no need to rebase your figures to be able to play Crusader.
At the heart of the rules is the concept that you are representing units of troops in battle rather than individual warriors. Dispensing with the traditional phases within a turn the unit-based mechanics allow for a fluid game that simulates the quality and training of troops rather than the abilities of a few super characters.
The rules have been created with the flexibility to allow armies from widely differing time periods to fight against each other through the use of a consistent points system. So if you want to fight William the Conqueror's Norman Army against Alexander's Macedonians feel free!
64 full-colour, perfectbound A4 pages.
Recommended Retail Price £7.50 GBP (yes, really), but at Salute we will be practically giving them away for £5.00 GBP each (yes, really, too).
Don't be fooled into thinking they are rubbish because they happen to be cheap! See the book, and you'll appreciate that you can have a quality product without having to charge Games Workshop prices for it.
