About the game
In the shrouded realm of Vlachold, the monsters do not lurk in the wilderness. They rule from on high. The people of Vlachold fear neither the Orcish warcry nor the Elvish arrow. They fear when their Lords look upon them, and smile. The vampiric Tepes Lords and Voivode Knights lead their mortal Voynik Swordsmen and Curteni Halberdiers to war, as likely to feast on their servants as they are the enemy. The Lords of Vlachold is an army for Battleground: Fantasy Warfare, a points-based tabletop tactical wargame in which units are represented by cards. Each player builds their army, deploy their units, and assigns them orders. Once the battle begins, each player only has a limited ability to command their army. The player with the better plan can use their commands to inspire or enchant their units in combat. Quick to set up, easy to store, Battleground is a game that can be played at your kitchen table and carried in your pocket. And yet Battleground is a deeply tactical game, where maneuver and marshaling your limited command resources are the keys to victory. —description from the publisher
