Hi,

I have a problem. In the next session there will be a large battle between the forces of Haelyn and Rjuvik barbarians.

The problem is that I don't have the battlecards. Some how the person I got the boxset from lost them? Does anybody have a suggestion or a place where I can download the cards?

All of the unit statistics are listed on this page here:

Unfortunately you don't have the cards to run the battles.

Let me know if you find the actual warcards.

I don't know why I didn't think of it before....
You could always download the "The Legacy of Kings" from the WotC website. Its a "board game" version of the warcards.

the url on the WotC website is:

Nope there are no warcards in the game. Lots of random stuff like change cards and such. Maybe WotC scanned the BR boxset including warcards...we can only hope :)

OKay I have to forget about the battle cards but the battle is still gonna happen. How would you run a big battle between 750 blood crazed barbarians and 750 blood crazed barbarians including several PC's?

I don't want a dice elbow if you know what I mean!

Suggestions are welcome

TSR,WotC,or whoever have yet to develop a good mass-combat system.The battlecard system is okay,but it could be better.I wish I had a clue on how to help ya out there....

I'd include lots of screaming, war cries, battle songs, war paint and blood... ;)

okay I don't need a rerun of Braveheart ;)

1 option left. Write a combat system.
