Battleground: Fantasy Warfare & Battleground: Historical Warfare events at Council of Five Nations

Battleground: Fantasy & Historical Warfare

Last Update:  Monday, Sept 12, 2011 - 3:00 PM

Battleground: F/HW is an excellent miniatures game, disguised as a card game.  There are no figures to buy or paint; you can fit a whole army in your pocket.  This is NOT a “collectible card game”, where you buy many packs to get a bunch of rare cards to pump up your hand.  Council is very happy to have Niko White, one of the developers from Your Move Games, on hand again to run games and sell Battleground decks.  These events have grown in popularity each year at Council, and we’re developing a reputation for one of the biggest and best Battleground cons. We’ve even got guys flying in from all over the country to play at Council weekend.  Please stop by the Battleground table upstairs in the RPG room all weekend to play a demo game.  Or, try one of these more formal events:
