''BattleLore'' is a strategy board wargame for two players, created by Richard Borg and initially published by Days of Wonder in 2006 (and later by Fantasy Flight Games). The game is based on the same mechanics as ''Battle Cry'', ''Memoir '44'' and ''Commands & Colors: Ancients'', but has a fantasy and medieval theme. ''BattleLore'' debuted at the 2006 Spiel game fair in Essen, Germany and was released worldwide on November 30 of that year. Typical setup for a game is 10–15 minutes. Beginning players can expect a 45-60 minute duration game, but experienced players can usually finish a game in about 30–45 minutes. Each player has a set of quick reference cards to help him keep rules in mind. Experienced players will rarely have to pull out the rulebook for clarification. The scenario book that comes with the basic box is organised as a tutorial sequence that introduces concepts one adventure at a time, making the game very easy to learn. Each adventure in ''Battlelore'' is pre-constructed, leaving the work of creating armies to the scenario author. Although with the ''Call to Arms'' Expansion (released May 2007) the players have (limited) control on deploying units to any given scenario. The ''Battlelore'' website offers an online scenario builder that helps fans create their own adventures. In September 2008 Fantasy Flight Games and Days of Wonder announced that the game would be moving to Fantasy Flight Games, along with all remaining stock. ==Gameplay summary== You start the game by choosing a scenario. Scenarios are available from the manual, the Internet, or you can design your own. The terrain and starting positions are laid out according to the scenario. The battlefield is divided into three sections by two red dotted lines, giving each player a left flank, a center and a right flank section. You command your troops by playing a command card. Command cards are used to order your troops to move, battle and/or execute a special command. There are two types of command cards: Section cards and Tactic cards. Section cards are used to order a move and/or battle in a specific section. These cards indicate in which section(s) of the battlefield you may order units and how many units you may order. Tactic cards allow you to make special moves, battle in a specific way or take special actions, as explained on the card. The object of the game is to be the first to destroy a set number of enemy units (usually 4 to 6, depending on the selected battle scenario’s victory conditions). In some scenarios, additional banners may be gained from the board map itself, for capturing and holding certain terrain hexes or battlefield objectives. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BattleLore (board game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
