Fog of War Scenario by Vic Dobson
Welcome to Fog of War a DarkeStorme scenario for two players. In this game two groups of warriors search the ruins of a village shrouded in a thick veil of magicke fog, searching for a long lost book once owned by a infamous and powerful magician! Both sides are looking for the legendary lost Book of Borganza, an Arcane Libram (spell-book) that once belonged to the ancient and powerful Mage Borganza the Wylde. The lost book now lies somewhere in the ruins of a long abandoned village in a valley shrouded by a thick magicke fog. But the book could be in any one of more than half a dozen different locations, so both sides have to search the ruins.  Download this three page scenario from our website hosting by clicking HERE.  This download also includes variant play sheets for the game. Note that there is a visual error in the scenario on page three caused by translation to PDF; it does not affect the scenario but our apologies.





While you can play DarkeStorme in 28mm you can also play it in 15mm too simply by changing ranges from Inches to Centimetres and indeed in 15mm you can use miniatures from the HOT 15mm Fantasy Range plus the Tabletop 15mm Fantasy Range. Alternative Armies has a huge selection of high fantasy miniatures in 28mm scale so we have provided a list of links so you can browse.  All packs can be purchased a single miniatures from them and we have value bundles with a big saving too.




We hope you enjoyed this free scenario and that your warbands bring you many victories.  This is our last news until late on in March when we will bring you many wonderful things.  Look out for this and enjoy your gaming.
