BattleLore

Command and Colors–based skirmishes set in a medieval alternate history where history and fantasy collide. Players deploy miniature units—infantry, cavalry, artillery and mercenary factions such as goblins and dwarves—across modular battleboards and resolve combat with card-driven orders and dice. Each side selects a Lore Master (wizard, cleric, warrior, rogue) whose special abilities and spells alter movement, combat, and terrain effects, while unique creatures like giant spiders and elementals add asymmetric threats. Scenarios recreate pitched engagements of the Hundred Years War–era uchronia and emphasize tactical positioning, hand management, and combined-arms coordination.
