Description

Lion Rampant: Medieval Wargaming Rules Second Edition is a thrilling tabletop miniature wargame that drops you into the midst of the Dark Ages and Medieval periods. As a player, you'll control a Warband of 4-10 units, each comprising 6 or 12 models, and engage in epic battles with your opponent. The best part? The game is scale-agnostic, allowing you to use models from your existing collections, so you can dive right in without needing to purchase new miniatures. This stylized and abstracted approach to the game means you can focus on strategy and fun, rather than getting bogged down in historical minutiae. The second edition of Lion Rampant brings significant improvements to the table, with a hefty 208-page hardback rulebook that's packed with improved formatting and presentation. While the core rules remain largely unchanged, the new edition offers more flexibility and options for players, including the removal of unit restrictions and the introduction of new rules, upgrades, and scenarios. You'll find expanded sample Warbands, more detailed guidance on setting up tabletop terrain, and a range of optional rules to tailor the game to your preferences. With the ability to play in 60 to 240 minutes, you can enjoy a quick skirmish or a longer, more immersive campaign, and with normal complexity, it's easy to learn and master, even if you're new to wargaming. As a two-player game, Lion Rampant is perfect for head-to-head battles, and with the guidance of renowned game designer Daniel Mersey, you can trust that you're in good hands. The game's mechanics, including dice rolling, line of sight, and measurement movement, all come together to create a thrilling and immersive experience. Whether you're a seasoned wargamer or just looking for a new challenge, Lion Rampant: Medieval Wargaming Rules Second Edition is an excellent choice, and with the option to expand your gameplay with additions like the Viking in the Sun expansion, you'll never run out of new adventures to embark on.
