Burrows & Badgers: Second Edition - by Michael Lovejoy (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

A new revised and expanded edition of the popular wargame Burrows & Badgers.

The Kingdom of Northymbra is a land in turmoil. King Redwulf is missing, and his son rules as regent in his stead, facing threats from within and without: growing dissention among the knights and nobles of the realm, whispers of revolution from the Freebeasts, Hillfolk raiding the borders, and bandits of all stripes making the most of the chaos.

Burrows & Badgers: Second Edition is a revised and expanded version of the popular tabletop skirmish game set in the ancient realm of Northymbra, a kingdom where mice, badgers, toads, and other animals wear armour, wield swords, and cast magic spells. This updated edition contains new content including additional background material, new species, warband types and a whole host of new spells, skills, and equipment.

Each model in Burrows & Badgers: Second Edition represents an individual character, and can be selected from a wide range of species - from the humble mouse to the mighty badger - and armed and equipped as desired. Scenarios link into ongoing campaigns, where heroes and villains may make their names and the assistance of infamous mercenaries might mean the difference between victory and defeat. Lead your warband from battle to battle, and uphold the name of your faction, whether you stand with Reinert's Royalists, the Freebeasts of the Fox Families, or simply for your own glory or survival.
