From the publisher's website:-

Dawn breaks cold and damp on the edge of a European forest as old as history itself.

Last night, your scouts stumbled upon the remains of a hastily departed Goblin camp. Sure enough, this morning their Crescent banners are silhouetted against the horizon, joined by a colorful sea of English pennants flying high above companies of noblemen on their war mounts.

Will the forthcoming battle unfold as planned? Are your vaunted Dwarven mercenaries worth their costly wages? If you've chosen wisely, your place in history seems assured. If not... surely your heirs will pay the ransom... won't they?

In a world that bridges history and fantasy - BattleLore™ puts you in command of a vast array of miniature troops on the battlefields of Medieval Europe.

Assembling a group of wizened old Lore Masters - men of faith and magic, tricksters and grizzled warriors - is only one of many challenges you'll face. The proper deployment of troops, careful choice of allies, timely spell-casting and good old-fashioned treachery are all important skills to master!

The doorway to epic fantasy adventures, BattleLore™ lets you relive the best of your role-playing experiences with family and friends, for an hour or an evening of fun.

Inside the Battlelore box, you will discover:

* Over 210 incredibly sculpted miniatures, 20 mm in scale, detailing the various units you will get to command on the battlefield; From Dwarven crossbowmen to Hobgoblin lizard riders, 14 different sculpts and 58 Banner Bearers are included. All miniatures come pre-assembled, complete with their banners and ready to play, all packaged in two convenient, reusable plastic blister trays. No fingers rubbed raw from wrenching plastic from sprues or hours of delicate sticker positioning required!

* An 80 page soft-cover, bound rulebook: Lavishly illustrated and chockfull of examples, this book contains all you will need to easily learn the game and start playing. Organized in three parts, covering the game’s basic medieval mechanics, fantasy aspects and the world - the rulebook lays the ground for a complete game system, and sets the foundation for many adventures to come. It also includes an all-important lexicon where all of the game’s key terms and concepts are defined.

* A 24 page Adventures Booklet, The Veritable Chronicles of Jehan Froissart.This booklet will give you a glimpse of Battlelore’s late medieval Uchronia in the company of one of its greatest chroniclers, and guide you through a 10 Adventure, step-by-step introduction to the game’s mechanics.

* A 3-fold full-colour board map of the battlefield, along with all the terrain and landmark pieces required to travel the width and depth of Medieval Europe’s battlefields. Like the War Council tokens and all other cardboard pieces in Battlelore, these come already prepunched and ready to play.

* 2 War Council sheets, and the Lore Master tokens required to sit these important advisors at your side before the game starts.

* The Command cards, Summary cards and Battle dice required to play the game, and an all-important 60 card Lore deck, including fifteen of each Lore Master’s most common set of tricks, spells and legendary actions.
