Battlesystem: Miniatures Rules

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, 2nd Edition

by Douglas Niles

This book, a full-scale revision and expansion of the rules in the original BATTLESYSTEM Fantasy Combat Supplement, gives you all the information you need to set up and play battles with miniature figures. These rules can be used without the AD&D game books, but you can also convert characters and creatures from an AD&D game campaign and use them in BATTLESYSTEM scenarios. Lavishly illustrated in full color, this book is an attractive addition to any gaming library.

I always wanted to get into miniatures and mass combat scenarios. I dabbled with fantasy a little but had the most fun with Battletech. This book was very helpful with many aspects of fantasy wargaming.

One of my favorite rules sets and the one that got me into miniature gaming! Excellent value but a pity that it has been superceded by trendy rules like Warhammer.
