Day of Battle
Day of Battle the Middle Ages places you in the role of a Medieval Warlord. You will raise and command your own army. The highest born knight, the uncertain mercenary, and the humble peasant all serve you in your cause, which is just and right. Day of Battle the Middle Ages continues with ground breaking rules systems. Ground scale is 10 yards to the inch. The focus of the game is the Warlord. Think of Charlton Heston in the movie of the same name to get the look and feel the game presents. Below you will find snippets of the new rules in fourth edition. Please drop me an e-mail if you have any questions or comments, we would like to hear from you.
