Westeros Battles.pdf

The Great Houses of Westeros secure power and ensure survival through strategic alliances, complex political intrigues, deceit, and betrayal, but the most direct path to power is taking to the field of battle. The Houses command vast armies with various units, armed with spears, swords, bows, siege engines, and machines of war. BattleLore: Battles of Westeros is a scenario-based game where players recreate military engagements between the Great Houses, controlling either House Stark or House Lannister, with future expansions allowing control of other Houses. The game includes various components, such as plastic figures, commander cards, leadership cards, unit reference cards, and map overlay pieces, which are used to build the battlefield and resolve combat. Players must agree upon and select a battle to play, with each battle having a unique battle plan that dictates the formation of the map, starting positions, resources, and victory conditions. The game is played over several rounds, with each round consisting of alternating player turns, and the goals to win a game can vary, such as earning victory points or taking and holding strategic positions.
