Introduction

Fantasy Warlord was a convention campaign game play ed during the Portland's Adventure Game Fest, in October 1996. Total of Sheen players played in it, with no more than seven players at every one time. Players were allow to enter and leave and reenter the campaign during the convention. At the end of the convention, the person who won never played wargames before.

There a maximum of eight slots for players. As a player is eliminate or leave, they empire's troops & ships are removed from the tabletop and any money left, is be place into a quest/ruin event pool. All they castles and villages will become neutral, except for their home castle which is taken over by an offboard player. New players enter into the game from the sea or marching on from the eastern edge of the table.

Geohex hexes formed the mainland with coastal line along three sides of the table. Player moved strategically according to Geohex. Tactical battlefield I used a seperate Geohex mat with 1 1/2 inch hexes on it. The tactical battlefield measure two foot wide and three feet long. Both sides started four inches in. Monopoly money was used to need track of expenses and income for each player. Monopoly building were used for villages. Later after the convention, I realize that I could have used old chess sets rooks as players castles. The basing of troops didn't matter as long as they were all based the same. I used number of terrain aids to identified the unknown territories.

Each new player will start with $100.00 in their treasury and a force of troops equal to $250.00. Plus a hero or wizard with two spells, player chooses.

The order of players movement are bidded on. The bid amount is the cost of supplies needed to move each of their heroes or wizards ( with any army ) per turn. All players place a D6's dices in front of them. The highest bid move first, and so on each mpve must be paid in cash for the amount of they bid each umpire If a player runs out of funds then he can't move any forces. To bid no movement, player doesn't place a dice down, but cover a empty spot on the table with they hand.

Players can garrison his cities and add to his castle garrison. Garrisons do not need a wizard or hero.

All players are limited to one wizard. If additional wizard are drawn. then treat card as no effect to player.

Combat is quick and simple. and lasts until someone is eliminate, or flees the battlefield.. The battlefield is 2" x 3" Geohex. with no terrain. There no morale rule, for every player knows when to fight and when to fold and run like hell.
