Anthems of War Core Rulebook
 |
Welcome to Anthems of War ¸ a bring your own miniatures fantasy skirmish game. Your battles are the stories told by rival bards in a tavern. You not only control the forces on the field but also play the role of the bard¸ embellishing the story as you play. Maybe a fog bank rolls in¸ keeping your rogue's flanking attack concealed. What if that common soldier steps up to lead your forces after his commander is consumed by a wall of flame? Wouldn't it be a shame if a sudden downpour wet the strings of an elven ranger's bow just before she was about to fire a shot? With these narrative elements¸ no battle will ever be the same.
Anthems of War is a fantasy miniatures skirmish game designed to be played head to head by two players. Designed to be played with 15mm¸ 28mm¸ or 32mm miniatures¸ players move their characters on the battlefield¸ roll dice and try to get the upper hand against their opponents using a variety of different scenarios and goals.
Scenarios can be used to represent single conflicts or they can be linked together in an overarching campaign. With a system that introduces narrative elements to the gameplay and the ability to create any characters you can dream up no two scenarios ever play quite the same.
