Ratlings

Publisher: Art of War Games

A Ratling army is an undisciplined horde. They swarm across the battlefield, pushing slaves and house rats in front in order to soak up enemy missile fire. They use large units of lightly armed skirmishers to outflank the enemy and attack from an unexpected direction. They use strange weapons and magic-fueled warmachines that can cause panic in the enemy ranks. Ratling priests use strange ancient magics to blast enemy formations and reinforce faltering Ratling morale.

A Ratling army uses a ton of basic troops, supported by Ratling guns, Ratling snipers, and lightning cannons in order to hold the enemy's attention. While the enemy tries to thin the Ratling hordes and deal with their magical warmachines and firearms, a horde of giant rats and rat swarms speeds across the battlefield to attack vulnerable troops or distract enemy cavalry. All the while, wererat assassins and sewer scouts move into a position behind the enemy and attack from an unexpected direction. Once the enemy is surrounded, it cannot escape and is swarmed under by a horde of furry bodies.

Each should check some of the power of the others in the rock, paper, scissors kind of way, which is similar to actual warfare. Above all, remember the…

GOLDEN RULE: When in doubt about a rule, roll a d6 – 4+, you are right; otherwise, your opponent is right. Bottom line: Use some common sense when dealing with strange situations and don't be a Bleeped text.
