Fantastic Battles is a fast-play, mass-battle, wargaming system for any fantasy setting. The rules emphasise the tactical concerns of command friction and the fog of war through randomised initiative, tabletop mishap rolls and the impetuous decisions of unsupervised unit commanders. An all-in-one volume, this book contains the rules for stand-alone pitched battles as well as campaigns. Twenty-four

example army lists are provided; however, army building is designed to be flexible. A toolkit of base profiles and unit traits allow players to build customised armies to suit their own vision of their fantasy faction. Scale agnostic, with multi-based figures and no individual figure removal, the game can be played using any fantasy figures, or historical armies from the ancient to the early modern period.

👻👻Spooky Season is upon us and there's Devilry Afoot! 👻👻

With the nights drawing in, it's time to shelter indoors and hunt monsters on the tabletop.

Designed for solo and co-operative gameplay, *Devilry Afoot* is a folk horror monster-hunting handbook for tabletop skirmishes.

Set in the 16th and 17th centuries, pit your flawed monster-hunters against the creatures of the dark controlled by the game's easy-to-use mechanics.

Something wicked this way comes with the release of Devilry Afoot, the folk horror skirmish game that sets 16th or 17th century heroes against the darkest imaginings of the early modern mind.

Co-operatively control self-righteous but flawed human monster hunters against the forces of darkness controlled by the game's action and reaction mechanics.

From redcaps and revenants, to witches and werewolves, each of the thirteen monster types profiled in the rules are rooted in European (and North American) superstition and folklore form the period.

With thirteen example scenarios and open-ended campaign rules, follow the rise and demise of your characters over a series of linked games against ever fiercer foes.

Devilry Afoot is playable with as few as 6-12 miniatures on a 2’x2’ (60cmx60cm) table. Games can be played in less than an hour allowing multiple games to be played in a single sitting.

The 130 page rule book is available now as a hardback via Amazon (world-wide), or a digital download from Wargame Vault.
