Die Schlachten von Westeros

Haus Baratheon Truppen-Erweiterung

 

Military conflicts on Westeros, based on „The Game of Thrones“ and on the BattleLore system designed by Richard Borg! The scenarios all have individual victory conditions and the rounds of a scenario comprise the phases Reactivating, Organizing, Command including command markers and command card and Regrouping including status, victory points, checking of victory condition, discarding of resources, morale and round marker adjustment.

House Baratheon Army Expansion introduces Baratheon a new Great House on Westeros; it comprises an additional board, six units for a Baratheon army, eight new scenarios and new rules for a game with more than two players. Basically, the Baratheon units and commanders work in analogy to the corresponding units of houses Stark and Lannister from the core game. The individual scenarios list the necessary components from expansions and core game, the cards for Initiative can be used optionally.

Some scenarios use components from earlier expansions. The scenarios in this expansion, #27-34, are Überfall im Rainwood, Der Verlust der Höhle des Löwen, Überfall aus Crakehall), Die Wege des Krieges (alle Baratheon/Lannister), Der Feind deines Feindes (Baratheon/Stark), Schuldzuweisungen (Baratheon/Stark), Die Löwenmähnen-Streitmacht (Stark/Lannister) and Die Schlacht von Blackwater as first Epic Battle over several segments with individual victory condition and information; in order to win the Epic Battle you must win several segments.

Elaborate, dense atmosphere and flair and an attractive game play – this expansion continues the saga of Game of Thrones very ably.
