''Fantasy Warlord'' is a fantasy miniatures game released in 1990 by Folio Works. It was written by Ian Bailey and Gary Chalk who also did the illustrations. The game was designed and published by two ex-Games Workshop (GW) employees who disagreed with the much more commercial direction that company was taking. It was supposed to rival the ''Warhammer Fantasy Battle'' game that GW published. ''Fantasy Warlord'' featured some unusual game mechanics such as simultaneous movement, an original command and control system (units are organised into brigades commanded by characters) and fog of war rules. It also featured balanced magic and troop choice systems. However the balance within the combat system reduced the opportunity to generate dramatic victories. Much like ''Warhammer'', the game had its own fantasy world, called Vortimax, in which the battles were imagined to take place. There was also a related range of ''Fantasy Warlord'' miniatures cast by Alternative Armies, and a magazine called ''Red Giant''. The game went out of print 18 months after first publication. Some supplements were expected, such as ''Armies of Vortimax'' (expected in 1992)〔The Games Quarterly Catalog #1, November 1991〕 ''Besieged'' or ''Fantasy Warlord Command Pack'', but none were released. Only two issues of ''Red Giant'' magazine were released. Folio Works Ltd. was dissolved on February the 11th, 1993.〔WebCHeck Companies House http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk〕 ==The Rulebook== 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「Fantasy Warlord」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
