The Lore system adds a fantasy layer: spend lore tokens to cast spells, summon creatures, or trigger powerful abilities. Scenarios mix historical Hundred Years War battles with fantasy elements like goblinoids and dwarven allies. Accessible wargaming with miniatures, perfect for introducing new players to tactical combat.
