Battleground Fantasy Warfare: Elves of Ravenwood

Battleground: Fantasy Warfare is a point-based miniatures game – but without the miniatures. Battleground uses cards rather than painted models to represent your forces. This means a much lower price as well as easier transportation and setup, but don’t be fooled – this is not a “light” war game or a CCG. Battleground is a serious, award-winning wargame that will challenge you at every step, from army design and deployment to tactical maneuvers and command decisions until battle’s end.

The Elves of Ravenwood are a faction of wood elves, imbued with the magic of forest spirits. Ravenwood’s elves are highly skilled but generally unarmored, making them hard to hit but vulnerable to damage. As a commander of Ravenwood, you have a large number of allied forces ready to join your army, ranging from tiny Brownies to mighty Treants and Centaur cavalry.

Some elves have bonded closely with the bears and wolves of Ravenwood and have taken on part of their animal’s nature over generations. Their familiar animals are also ready to do battle at your side, although your ability to control them will be greatly limited unless your army also contains a unit of the appropriate ‘Kin’.

The Ravenwood army ability uses Spirit Guidance to make their weapons strike true. Spend one Command Action to mark the Spirit Guidance icon on a unit’s stat bar; you may then erase that mark at any time to turn a single attack die into a 2.
