There's a new encounter level coming for By Fire and Sword. Between the skirmish level and the division level is the Task Force level. It's not exactly a small group encountering another, or massed armies meeting on the battlefield, but something in-between, with several squads working together. Pre-orders for the new book detailing all the intricacies of this new game size are available now.
Imperial Unarmored Cuirassiers are now unlocked! We have reached 44k so portable obstacles are now unlocked! As promised, by reaching 44k, 3 sets of order tokens for new armies: Brandenburg, Transylvania and Holy Roman Empire are unlocked! The Transylvanian unit – light Székely cavalry/’chimney’ cavalry (like ‘chimney smoke’ in Polish infantry). Is unlocked! At the moment we are aiming for 47k there will be 3 large sets: High Command for Transylvania, Holy Roman Empire and Brandenburg. It’s final set that will allow to
publish ‘from skirmish to division’ bundles. As we have promised next batch of historical divisional bundles will be available when we reach 47000 for now Free PDF Rules. Please help us to make those wonders come true, spread the news!
