Conquest! The brand new game from Para Bellum and River horse studios.

With little over a month until initial reveal at Spiel Essen, I've been digging to find out more about this interesting new kid on the block....

Just in!

Alessio Calvatore is conformed as the rules guru behind Conquest! With his portfolio it's difficult not to get excited about it!

Gone are deployments and turns instead a new Command Stack mechanic where players preditermine what order their troops will activate coupled with an escalation system that gives true rolls to light, medium and heavy troops. Not only that... The Fog of War is set to be a real thing in game terms!

I was already exited by the prosepect of a complex and mature setting. I'm a mature gamer and sometimes I've found myself looking for something without the token comic relief that's become the norm!

Just astounding now.

And first talk of dragons. I really think they'll have something to do with the Dweghom. One of the 4 factions in the first wave release.

You aren't made to fight for your masters but to die at their convenience.

Life is cheap when you're made to die ;)

I had some expectations about these two faction but consider them blown out of the water... And you can tell thy are still holding so much back from just how deep this rabbit hole goes.

Enjoy. (recommended watching the spire/100kingdom one as it references the fall, rage of dragons and other bits)
