![Battle for Eldorado [BUNDLE]](https://dtrpg-public-files.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/images/16210/315897.jpg) |
This bundle is a great value: 177 individual images, making up just about any army you could want for playing the Conquest of Mexico , Peru, or an 'imagi-nation' of you choice. For the Spanish, there are cavalry, muskets, crossbows, sword and buckler men, polearms, cannons, cavalry, and war dogs. The sets of Aztek, Mayan, and Inca warriors contain special warrior societies, common warriors, skirmishers, and, for the Toltecs, my favorite: lads throwing gourds filled with live bees.
The artwork is stunnily beautiful, with mirror images for both sides of the figures. All are in profile. I printed mine two images to a page, on 28lb paper. I assemble mine with Scotch Wrinkle-free gluesticks, and get great results. After basing them, I apply a coat of matte Mod Podge.
These figures will be perfect for skirmish games, such as Osprey's "The Men Who Would Be Kings", or possibly "Rebels and Patriots". A little tweaking of the lists should be all it takes....

A well written scenario for Five Leagues from the Borderlands.
It's laid out in 7 Chapters, and you can progress without reading the next part, keeping the surprise levels interesting. There aren't any punitive choices during the scenario (e.g. if you did X in Chapter 2, suffer Y in Chapter 5), rather going with the flow of the rolled events.
In my playthrough I got really stuck during the first chapter due a LOT of bad dice rolls, but thankfully, some skills in my party helped alleviate that a little.
It has variety in it's encounters (terrain, enemy) and variety in addressing the situations at hand.
It is meant for a new warband, so there are times where my battle hardened party (~7 sessions in) had it too easy and with some good dice rolls, after the first Chapter, it was mostly a walk in the park.
The associated loot also is quite nice.
It gave me many solo play sessions to deal with.
Recommended!

This set is a ready to go army for games such as Sword and the Flame. 52 characters, making up Command, Infantry, Cavalry, and Artillery in the style of late 19th century Siberian troops. I printed mine at two pages per sheet of 8-1/2 x 11 inch paper, and the infantry is 25mm, from feet to eyes. I used 28 pound paper, and glue with Scotch winkle Free glue sticks. I find it easier to cut out both halves of the figures, THEN gk\lue them together to get the best allignment,
The artwork is very pleasing, with a great variety of faces, some bearded, some clean shaven, with different hair colors. Horses are if several poses, none 'static' except the ones being used to steady the fire of the dismounted cossacks. some os the cossacks have fur caps, some have the peaked cap. some have lances, some swords, some carbines.
The artillery includes a light field gun, a gatling machine gun, and a lin\mber with horse team. There is a good mix of crew members, including ammo carriers an...
