About the game
Hellfire & Stone is a supplement for Mantic's fantasy mass combat game, Kings of War (KoW). In addition to Kings of War scenarios and background, it also provides a scenario for Dwarf Kings Hold, a dungeon exploration/fighting game of Mantic's set in the same fantasy world. From the publisher: Hellfire & Stone is a narrative campaign for Kings of War, featuring an epic conflict between Dwarfs and Abyssal Dwarfs. As well as six scenarios that link up the story of the campaign, you will find an optional Dwarf King’s Hold scenario plus full rules for three new models: Arhak Soulbinder, Berserker Lord Sveri Egilax and the mighty Dwarf Bombard, as well as painting guides for some of the units involved in the war.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Kings of War: Hellfire & Stone for ages 12 and up.
