Welcome, my dwarven companions, to the Battlefield (name subject to change)!
Here at the Battlefield (name subject to change), you build squads of units for small skirmishes and conflicts. These units each belong to a faction, which you must declare when building a squad.
To start a battle, you must challenge another player of a different faction, or get several players of your faction to join together for a large-scale battle. If they accept, i'll run the fight on the Battlefield (name subject to change)!
Now, for the fun part! Building your army for the Battlefield (name subject to change)!
Each army has 500 Points to start with. You spend these points to buy units and gear.
Each unit has a 'type', such as Commander or Troop.
Each army MUST have at least one Commander and two Troops.
Each army can take, maximum:
1-2 Commanders (Army leaders. Powerful.)
3 Elites. (Your best warriors. Use them well.)
