Legend of Mythra

Legend of Mythra is a fantasy skirmish game designed for 28mm or 15mm miniatures. Every model is set on its own base and acts independently. Players form warbands of between 10-75 models depending on the scale of battle and scenario. A typical game will take no more than an hour between two experienced players. The game-engine uses an 'initiative' system, with players able to steal advantage by scoring more objective points. Combat is 'two roll' and resolves itself swiftly and intuitively. This game has been designed to be as ergonomic as possible, with universal special rules limited to a single page. The unique Mythra setting is inspired by Baltic and Finnic culture and mythology, offering players a world in which to set their battles. The 72 page core book is divided into three sections - the rules, army lists and lore. 1) The Core Rules: Contains all the rules for the core game, covering movement, magick, missiles, melee and morale. Also includes universal special rules, the armoury, magick items, scenarios and the 'War of Houses' mini-campaign. 2) The Army lists: Contains seven extensive army lists for the major factions of Mythra, each with their own unique units and play style. These factions are: The Kingdom of Mythra - a mighty human army boasting many types of unit, plate armoured men-at-arms, cavalry, archers and the Royal Beast Corps of Mythra. The Hordes of Pochyola - a horde army of lower-quality troops in high number. The Hordes are lead by mighty heroes and have many powerful monsters to call upon. Underestimate them at your own peril. The Dark Circle - an army of spectral warriors joined by the dreaded Necromages. The vorpal blades of the Dark Circle are deadly against plate-armour but their might is dulled against warded foes. The Hollow God - an army of ghoulish light infantry and an ad hoc gathering of terrors, lead by incarnated demonic heroes. The Auvans - an army of highly elite warriors, enchanted against magick and fleet through all terrains. The Auvans have many 'supernatural' allies they can call upon and high command of magick. The Horse Tribes - an army strong of hoof and bow, the Horse Tribes can outmaneouvre any other force on the battlefield. They are skilled warriors but lack heavily armoured troops and infantry. The Suurukai - an army of heavy infantry bound to the will of the Dragon-Lords. The heroes of the Suurukai are mounted on terrible draconic beasts and dominate the battlefields of Mythra. 3) The Book of Lore: Covers the history of Mythra from the 'Third Age' to the 'Fifth Age' of the present. Also includes the metaphysics of magick, laments and epic song. 4) The Cheat Sheet (of Doom): I have now uploaded a cheat sheet for quick reference during your battles. Most of the game is summarized on a single page (you will still need an understanding of the core rules to fully use it). —description from the publisher
