Battlestorm, 25+ mm Ral Partha Publishing 14-001 ($29.95).
Medieval fantasy battle system (scale is "legendary") -- In a miniature game it’s impossible to move more than one unit at a time, but Battlestorm plays fast und deadly with near real time action und reaction. To simulate simultaneous movement, Battlestorm uses a simple table-free combat system that requires an attacker to declare any melee combat BEFORE he moves. This way the opponent has the option of counter-attacking, fleeing or even attacking some other unit. Combat can fire off an exciting chain reaction that suddenly draws many units into the fray. These explosion of carnage are called Battlestorms, und they often mean a battle can hinge on a few critical decisions. (RPP)
