| 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! To Arms!” And heartfelt the anthem prolong! Oh, gather the Catrawd and let them go forth! To Battle! To Glory! To Song! The Long War has entered a new phase. Decisive battles are now won by a handful of rhyflers fighting for freedom, king, or home. Based on Flying Lead and Song of Blades and Heroes, this book provides rules for fighting smaller skirmish actions between the might of Alykinder’s Crusade, the strength of the Coftyran Crymuster, and the elusive Partisans of Elghmore. With only five to fifteen rhyflers per side, commanders can lead several smaller conflicts within a shorter amount of time. Individual rhyflers live or die by their choices as Yawdryls and is-Caertens keep the group moving toward their objective. With the support of Cavalry and heavy weapon teams, a bold Caerten may lead his charges to victory whether they fight for their freedom, their king, or their home. Gather your rhyflers, fight for your cause, and join your squad in singing the Songs of Our Ancestors! 110 pages 5.19mb PDF |  |

| 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):
