Gripping Beast SAGA - Age of Crusades 2° Edizione

Descrizione

Deus vult! At the dawn of the thirteenth century, these words set Europe aflame. The hearts of nobles and serfs alike are filled with an ardent desire to absolve their sins by taking up arms against the enemies of the faith.

In 1095, the princes of the west answer the Pope's call, take the cross, and travel to Jerusalem to liberate the Holy City from the hands of the infidels.

In 1147, the same call goes out again, and turns the might of Christendom against the Baltic shores where Europe's last pagans thrive.

In the Iberian peninsula, Spanish lords resume their attempts to reconquer the lands the Moors have ruled since 711.

For more than two centuries, these unprecedented military expeditions will see kingdoms and cultures rise and fall. Great champions will lead their nations through heroic battles whose consiquences will be felt for decades.

SAGA Age of Crusades is a SAGA Supplement which covers the wars of faith fought in the West and the East from the First Crusade to the Mongol invasion of Europe.

This Universe offers 12 factions from the period covering each arena of battle, each one accompanied by its Battle Board, its legendary units and its special rules.

The book also provides you with auxiliaries to recruit, and a variant of the standard game which transforms your game into a battle for the faith!

Follow in the wake of Godfrey of Bouillon, join the ranks of the Teutonic Order, fight alongside Saladin or resist with the Baltic peoples. Do not weaken, for only the valiant will triumph and win eternity in heaven!

A copy of the SAGA Rulebook is necessary to use this supplement. This book is accompanied by twelve Battle Boards, which may not be sold separately.
