THE SHORT VERSION

Alexander Tulloch defends the Lore of Life as a means to control terrain, movement and hidden targets rather than merely compare damage totals. Spell-by-spell examples show how marshes, woods, hills and wind can create charges, protect an army or punish supposedly safe missile troops, with Nick Kyme adding advice for the factions able to use the lore.

Scenario Two: Skeggi’s Warning

Skeggi’s thousand-point garrison must defend a fortified watchtower against Grabnatz’s larger Goblin force, whose volatile brew can rupture its stone walls. The previous battle affects how close the attackers begin, and the tower’s survival determines how much warning Bugman receives, changing the next scenario’s length and opening turn.
