It is different from Warhammer Fantasy Battles in both appearance and gameplay. It is intended for 10 -12 mm miniatures.[ 1] Basic troops are based on stands, of which typically three make a unit. Generals, Heroes and Wizards are mounted individually or with their retinue.
Gameplay focuses on command and control. While magic is used in the game, its effects on the game are limited. The game is designed to focus on the general's ability to command rather than just the armies ability to fight.
