THE SHORT VERSION

Robin Cruddace draws on famous sieges to frame the Stronghold Assault expansion. Background, artwork and photography establish the atmosphere before new gaming content. Networks bring several related structures into one army choice. Massive fortifications then create substantial objectives and tactical problems for ordinary battles as well as special siege missions.

Escalation

Sixteen super-heavy machines and gargantuan creatures enter the new Lords of War slot. Their datasheets cover examples from Baneblades to Harridans and Revenant Titans. Eight Altar of War scenarios accompany three Gauntlet challenges. The review presents those units as a new ingredient for regular games rather than the full spectacle of Apocalypse.
