A revised and updated version of the popular Dragon Rampant ruleset.
Whether you're a nameless Dark Lord looking to conquer the known world, a Champion of Light holding out against the forces of evil or a Northern barbarian facing claimants to a stolen throne, Dragon Rampant: Second Edition allows you to bring those battles to the tabletop in this fantasy version of this easy-to-learn but tactically rewarding wargame.
Dragon Rampant: Second Edition is a new, updated version of the hit miniatures agnostic, standalone, large skirmish Osprey Wargames series title that recreates the great battles of Fantasy fiction. Featuring revised core rules, including substantial additions to the magic and monsters sections, as well as extensive sample army lists and varied scenarios, Dragon Rampant: Second Edition allows players to command unruly orc warbands, raise armies of the undead, campaign across an antediluvian world as the warchief of a barbarian tribe, or exploit the power of mighty creatures and extraordinary sorcery.
