Reviews

The new posse addition adds some depth to the play of the game, and the skinwalker is very tempting to try out. The new scenarios and campaign narrative is another welcome addition and brings a lot to the game, some of the services look like they will be fun to play through, this is a great first add-on for an already fun skirmish miniatures game. - DDO Players
