Battleground: Fantasy Warfare is a point-based miniatures game – but
without the miniatures. Battleground uses cards rather than painted models to
represent your forces. This means a much lower price as well as easier
transportation and setup, but don’t be fooled – this is not a “light”
war game or a CCG. Battleground is a serious war game that will challenge you at
every step, from army design and deployment to tactical maneuvers and command
decisions until battle’s end.
Each Battleground army comes in two different decks. Army Starters contain
eighteen unit cards, a thirty-card Command Deck and two quickstart reference
cards, plus the basic rules. This gives you all the cards you need to get
started – in play terms, each unit card is the equivalent of a boxed set of
miniatures. Army Reinforcement decks each contain fifty unit cards – enough
for almost any army you can imagine – and the advanced rules. Reinforcement
decks also include two unit types not available in that army’s Starter.
All you need in addition is a flat surface, an opponent, some dice and a couple of dry-erase markers.
The Umenzi Tribesmen is the sixth faction for Battleground: Fantasy Warfare, the award-winning tabletop wargame in which cards, rather than expensive miniatures, represent your forces. The Umenzi Tribesmen draws inspiration from the great Zulu armies of earth as well as a cinematic take on Voodoo, adding a new level of magic to Battleground play
