Battle for the Throne Campaign System

I’ve just completed and released A Game of Fire and Ice on WargameVault.



A Game of Fire and Ice allows you to recreate both Historical and Fantistorical battles and campaigns set in the medieval period. You can create an army from your favorite fantasy book, television series, movie or, if you, prefer from history. A campaign system lets you and your friends take the command of a great house and battle for the throne of mythical Westerlands or historical England in the War of the Roses.




The game uses a simplified variation on the popular DBX mechanics which allows you to fight an entire campaign in a series of linked battles in a single afternoon. This volume includes The Battle for the Throne campaign system and complete orders of battles for a campaign set in mythical Westerlands, England during the War of the Roses and an alternative history campaign featuring exiled Lancastrians, Spanish Conquistadors, the Aztec Empire, a Native American Confederation and a Viking Colony all battling for control of the New World.



The campaign system and orders of battle are designed to be generic enough for use with virtually any game system designed for medieval warfare HOTT, D3H2, DBA, DBM and DBMM but also including L’Art De Le Guerre and even Kings of War.





These rules do not replace any of the DBX sets and don’t cover eras prior to 1200 nor are they designed for tournament play. The intent is to add medieval specific rules and provide a campaign system to battle for your favorite throne, whether drawn from television, books, movies or history. You can use the same game and campaign system to command House Wolf against House Lion and House Dragon or House Lancaster against House York and House Tudor.



Go forth and conquer – your throne awaits!
