Anyone else miss the good old days when wargaming was really equal opportunity, and Dwarves were allowed to be evil little gits too? Well wipe away that nostalgic tear because that time is now, with Mantic's Abyssal Dwarves!
After a phonecall to Mantic Games, we have lots of information to reveal about their new boardgame! Looks like Warren was right after all!

So what can I tell you about Kings of War? Well first it was a very fluid game, as Alessio was literally rewriting the rules as we played, with many of the ideas from previous games being jettisoned and new ideas being added... but let's get down to the nitty-gritty... how does the game play?

In this final part of the interview with Alessio Cavatore, I get to ask him about his thoughts on the rest of the game mechanics (at least the ones he had started to solidify at this stage). Its an interesting […]

In this one Johno cracks open the Ironguard box to have a look at the tasty metal command squad within. With a commander, Musician, Standard Bearer and champions we suppose this would be compatible with any well know fantasy wargaming system - not […]
