In the late Middle Ages, trade flourished in Europe. Economic groups like the Hanseatic League, the Welser and Fugger families, and merchants from Northern Italy established trading posts and factories in all of the important cities throughout Europe. These businesses provided the population with goods of all kinds, such as fur from the north, cloth from Flanders, wine from the south, and spices from India. The most important commodity of all was salt. In the Middle Ages salt was highly prized it was used to preserve food.
You are a powerful merchant! Start your trading posts in three cities. Recruit new merchants and send them to distant cities to establish trading posts and expand your interests. The more trading posts you have, the more commodities are at your disposal which you can sell profitably in foreign cities.
To ensure that your commodities arrive safely at their destination, you must open up trade routes and equip caravans. You win the game if you are the first to deliver all of your commodities to foreign cities.

Hordes: CoO Woldwrath Gargantuan
$ 129.99 SRP
Woldwraths stand as towering monuments to the woldcrafter art, meant to tap into and unbind the ultimate fury of Orboros. Brought to life amid strenuous, blood-fueled rituals conducted atop powerful conjunctions of ley lines, woldwraths channel the vast energies that flow within the earth. Their tempestuous assaults are prefaced by voltaic flickers that play along darkening clouds above and the pulsing runes inscribed across their stone forms. The Woldwrath gargantuan comes in a box (PIP 72067). A player may field up to two Woldwraths for each warlock in a Circle Orboros army.
Hordes: CoO Warpborn Skinwalkers (5)
$ 44.99 SRP
Warpborn skinwalkers are chosen from the finest hunters and trackers among the families of the Wolves of Orboros and subjected to rituals that transform them into hulking savages. With their senses heightened and their bestial bodies augmented to become stronger than any human, they wield their massive pole axes with enthusiastic brutality. A player may field up to two Warpborn Skinwalker units for each warlock in a Circle Orboros army. SPECIAL NOTE: PIP 72070 contains the same Mk II stat card as PIP 72046. The models in this box represent the same figures in the game. PIP 72070 replaces PIP 72046 and PIP 72053 by offering their contents in a complete unit. However, the models in PIP 72070 are a new sculpt and therefore look different from the models in PIP 72046 and PIP 72053. In addition, these models are plastic rather than metal. The replaced PIPs will no longer be available from Privateer Press beginning October 1, 2012. Box
