Description from the publisher: Bring the might of a Mountain Giant to your army with the BattleLore (Second Edition): Mountain Giant Reinforcement Pack! This Reinforcement Pack features a Mountain Giant that can be included in any army, alongside three new lore cards to customize your lore deck and a unique terrain tile.

Whether you use the Mountain Giant in this scenario or muster him with your army, he brings an undeniable threat to every game of BattleLore (Second Edition).
