Empires Campaign.

What is Mighty Empires?
In 1990, Games Workshop
released a Campaign Board Game to be used with their miniature based wargame
called Warhammer. The object was to begin from your capital city and explore
the terrain, establishing an empire in the process. Along the way your armies
would find villages, fortresses and cities. These would either welcome you with
open arms or resist your empire expansion.
Other players would
also be exploring. Borders will be made and weak promises of peace would be
given to each other. Then after a few years, exploration turns to war, as players
vie for land held by other empires. Taxs are collected from your people and
this fuels your economy. Spies and assasins work in secrecy. Battles are won
and lost and great mages cast equinox magic across the land.
Sound exciting? Well it sure is. Combined with Warhammer, this really tests
your skills of negotiation, battle and tactics.
Unfortunately, Games Workshop have stopped producing this excellent game. Maybe
they may re-release it in the future.
What is Warhammer?
Warhammer is the Game of Fantasy Battles, produced by a UK company called Games
Workshop. It's similar to a giant game of chess but it is not restricted to
black and white squares. You collect an army that is filled with units of troops
ranging from knights to archers, then with heroes to lead them they march to
war against the army of your friends.
The models that you collect are unpainted and so you can paint them in your
own style and taste. This makes your army different to your friends and after
time you do get attached to your favourite models. Especially if they die in
a game. But never fear our heroes always seem to return to seek revenge!
