Orc Warfare is an interpretation of how orcs live and war; the two are very closely related.  Chris starts by taking a look at the social and racial structures.  From there he moves to detailed descriptions of orc troops.  The last section is an anthology on tales of historic orc victories.

Orc Warfare goes over the orc physique for each of the “sub types” – goblins, orcs, and great orcs.  Without spoiling too much, goblins are about four feet tall and amount to roughly twenty-five percent of the population.  Orcs are the dominant of the species and they fill more roles in society.  The great orcs are effectively born  for war.  Being the largest of the species, you can imagine how they might be used, but you don’t have to because Chris gives us more than enough information on them.

This is a 2 player, scenario based board game, with one player taking control of the Dwarfs, while the other commands the Undead. There are 6 scenarios to play through, each build upon each other, culminating in a huge, desperate battle which will ultimately decide who controls the King’s Hold.

 

We have not played this yet.  I would love to get my hands on a copy and do a review for all of you, because I have only heard good things about Dwarf King’s Hold.   That is not something that can,t be said very often.  Here is a link to the product information on Mantic Games Website Dwarf Kings Hold.

This time we have the new 2 player starter, from Mantic games, Fate of the Forge Star.

 

This Box set is an insane deal.  It has 170.00 worth of product for only 74.99

 

Here it is a little bit earlier than I thought.

 

 

In the coming days we should have a couple of Mantic Games Figure Forge episodes.
