Welcome to the BattleScribe - Kings Of War - Vanguard - wiki!

Introduction

Vanguard

From the Vanguard web site:

YOUR WARBAND, YOUR STORY...

Vanguard recreates cinematic, brutal skirmishes between small warbands of handpicked fighters, set in the same universe as our hugely popular Kings of War wargame. Players carefully select their squad of characters then fight it out to complete life or death missions - that can help turn the tide in the battle to come!

For more information about this game, please visit the website of the creator - Mantic Games - at Vanguard Game

How to install in Battle Scribe

Battlescribe is free to use and can be downloaded here.

Once installed you can choose the game systems that you want to install and use. Look out for 'Kings of War - Vanguard'.

Important - when creating a new warband you need to fill in the points limit for your warband - eg 200 pts - this is not a required field so people sometimes tend to forget. You can still build a list but some of the rule checks will not work as these are based upon a cost limit. So do make sure to enter that limit.
