Outremer: Faith and Blood: Skirmish Wargames in the Crusades

Description

Outremer: Faith and Blood is a 28mm skirmish wargame featuring small groups of warriors fighting in Outremer during the Crusades. While suitable for one-off skirmish encounters the focus of the game is a structured and progressive campaign setting in which they are able to watch their force grow and develop over a series of scenarios and encounters from a small party of five or so soldiers into a powerful warband a score strong. Character development is key, and a wide range of troop options and factions allows a high degree of individuality and personalisation. Players will also be able to recruit mercenaries and agents such as Hashashin and Varangian survivors to bolster their forces - potent but expensive additions that will add a distinct flavour to each encounter.

The value of [Osprey Wargame] books is unbelievably good. Generally, $20 can get you an interesting ruleset with great artwork. - Jacob Stauttener, Must Contain Minis ... if you like gaming in the Crusades setting, look this book up!!! For just $20 it gives you a great new way to use your old miniatures (or an excuse to buy new ones). Being that it is a small model count game, this one won't break the bank! - Must Contain Minis
