Kings of War: Historical- First Look - So let’s take a look at what is inside the new Kings of War Historical supplement. The game itself is basically Kings of War with some additional elements added to it. As you can see below, charging over or up a hill will now make it harder to hit your enemies in melee. These small additions will certainly make the gameplay feel more realistic.
There are also some new special rules as well like Dread and Devastating. These again will certainly add some more flavor and depth to your historical games. Finally, we get to the army lists. How can we construct our armies? Inside the book you will find a “Master List”, which will list out all of the types of units in the game. Your specific faction or army that you have chosen will explain which units you are allowed to field, along with any special units and army rules that may apply. The Roman List pictured below will highlight what you will see in different forces throughout the book. Article edited by Wargame News and Terrain on 02/09/2016 18:08
