Siege Equipment and Stonebread

December 2011·pp. 22–26

THE SHORT VERSION

The siege explanation gives each army an equipment allowance equal to its battle points and combines pre-battle starvation and bombardment with assaults on individual castle sections. Players can agree race-specific equipment together: Kevin’s stonebread reduces Dwarf starvation losses, while Andy buys a siege tower and experimental cannon. Control of marked sections normally decides victory, but a relief force reaching the gate can win immediately.

An Interview with William King

William King explains his return through Blood of Aenarion and a trilogy that follows Tyrion and Teclis from inexperienced youths to established heroes. High Elf glamour and epic history coexist with political intrigue, violence and dark humour. He also previews Angel of Fire, shifting to the human scale of an Imperial Guard tank crew caught in the Macharian Crusade.

Denizens of the Forest Depths

Under a fictional commission from Boris Todbringer, Simon Grant describes the threat hidden inside the Empire’s forests. Beastmen resent human civilisation and organise warherds around strength, with Gors, Ungors, elite Bestigors, Minotaurs and protected Bray-Shamans occupying different places. The account challenges the Empire’s assumption that scattered forest creatures cannot threaten fortified settlements and introduces the immense monsters that follow their armies.
