| Songs of our Ancestors A Flying Lead/Song of Blades variant produced by Zombiesmith Miniatures To Battle! To Glory! To Song! The trumpet is sounding “To Arms!

| Pride of Lions Mass Combat Miniatures Rules These rules are designed by John McBride and produced with Splintered Light Miniatures. Although distributed by Ganesha Games, they ARE NOT BASED on the Ganesha Games system used in other games like Song of Blades and Heroes. The dice used and the mechanics are completely different. The basing system in PoL is compatible with the one Ganesha will be using for Song of Armies and Hordes. You can easily play both game systems with the same units (although army composition will vary). These rules provide a fast and fun game of fantasy mass combat. In PRIDE OF LIONS each player becomes the commanding general of the army or warlord of the horde. Magic, and the courage and skills of individual heroes, can affect the game, but the outcome of the battle will depend mainly on the clash of large units of common fighters operating under the general's orders. Maintaining a coherent battle line, (or, better, TWO battle lines, as reserves are very useful) is not obligatory but is amply rewarded by the rules. There is a degree of abstraction in the rules, particularly as regards formations and units moving through one another. These rules compromise with realism in favor of speed and ease of play. Players will have plenty of things to worry about without bothering themselves with the sort of details that the unit commanders, or their sergeants, should be handling. Each turn begins with players issuing orders to eligible units by laying inverted movement chits behind each unit. After a magic phase, which can result in a unit's orders being changed involuntarily or randomly, all orders are revealed and movement is conducted simultaneously by all sides but in a strict sequence, with the most aggressive movement coming first (charges) and skirmishers going last. Both melee combat and missile fire are conducted through opposed die rolls, using dice of various sizes from D4s to D24s, with the difference between the die rolls determining the outcome. Terrain, magic, special weapons and tactics, leadership and heroism by characters all affect the game either through the movement chits or the die rolls. What's Inside? Basic Rules suitable for non-fantasy games (no magic):

| Warrior Heroes Warrior Heroes is a hybrid, not a miniatures wargame or a role-playing game (RPG), but both. Warrior Heroes combines the best of wargaming miniatures with the personal touch of role-playing. The combat system is best described as intense yet simple in mechanics. Combat takes center stage, as when you enter combat there is no guarantee that you'll survive. That's what makes it intense. Added to this is a simple-to-use campaign and battle-generator system that can give you the who, what, and why of your adventures. Within minutes the mechanics can generate a complete adventure, down to the motivation and actions of the enemy forces. All without a game master, because in Warrior Heroes everyone plays, not just watches. The game also works on two other levels. The first is the personal level, where each player creates and controls a character. He recruits a group and leads it on adventures, gaining experience and abilities as he advances in reputation. The other level allows for fighting battles with large armies. Using the Big Battle rules, you can easily push large numbers of figures about the board in a reasonable time and to a conclusion, then tie the results to your personal characters. In short, Warrior Heroes can be anything you want it to be, from a role-playing game to a big battle game and anything in between. 112 pages 4.25mb PDF |  | ||
