80-05 THE GENERAL'S COMPENDIUM $25.00 ($45.00 CAN)

Are your Warhammer players looking to take their battles into new levels? The General’s Compendium is just for them! Just as the Warhammer Skirmish book explored smaller thematic Warhammer scenarios, this book takes Warhammer into large scale events. It highlights campaign gaming in three major styles ranging from simple linked games to map-based campaigns and to advanced GM-based systems. The book also comes with a fantastic poster-sized map of the Border Princes as well to aid in the bigger games that are the focus here. Siege Warfare is also featured, since big battles usually include war machines and castles. Not only do we cover games of all sizes for attacking and defending massive structures, but we have scenarios for Raiding and City Sacking for after you’re past the walls!

The General’s Compendium also includes rules for Deathmatch Challenges for players looking for the ultimate in competitive gaming, and new rules for Hostile Terrain in battles where the field you’re fighting in can be as dangerous as the enemy itself! For those who want to take their games into the water, there are rules for Naval Combat in Warhammer scale with scenarios, ship-construction tips, and even sea monsters.
The Allies and Large Games section allows players to really get big with huge multi-player games as well. To round things off, there is a plethora of hobby articles including scenery construction, terrain-making, and more with army-specific watchtowers, cityscapes, huts, 3-D maps, and more!

Overall, this book is an essential buy for all Warhammer players, expanding their games with new and different ways to play the game they know and love. This is not in any way a new game, but rather a way to give Warhammer players new dimensions to take their games into. It will spur increased interest with veteran players, and the massive games they are sure to be running draw in new players as well.
