SHARGAZ - Epic Fantasy Battles

  Welcome come to the realm inside the mountain, beer lovers! Today we look on the dwarf strongholds and their stubborn warriors.

  Good evening, inhabitants of the underworld! I bring you today a closer look to the undead army. The current version of this faction is leaning more with the classic vision of powerful necromancers raising an army of bony warriors and trying to reach immortality by stealing enough souls from the unlucky inhabitants that fall under their hands. But if you are more inclined for vampires, ghouls, zombies and other creatures of the underworld; do not suffer, as there will be more army lists coming in the future.

The game testing continues and a new version of the rules and the army lists have just been uploaded in the download section ( click here ). Next it is presented a list of the most relevant changes and the reason of it. -Movement attribute of cavalry and flyers reduced. Some players complained that the cavalry was excessively mobile than infantry on the battlefield. The movement of cavalry has been reduced to a maximum of 25cm for medium/light cavalry and 20cm for heavy cavalry. The movement of flyers have been reduced to a range between 30 to 50cm as well. They are still very mobile, but they cannot instantly move from one corner of the board to the other anymore. -Change in rotation of infantry and war machines.
