Designed by Richard Berg, The Men at Arms Series, Volume I

There are lots of battle games out now that use cards, but you’ve never seen, "A Men at Arms” Series and its initial offering, CHAINMAIL.

The game includes the battles of Legnano, Bouvines, Lewes, and Bannockburn.

The game uses cards, one deck for each player (whose cards are somewhat different from those of the other player) to drive the game. Each player gets a certain number of cards each turn - often a different number for each player! - but never his full deck. The cards are used to determine movement, combat, and special items such as Missile Fire, Knights Charge, Counter-Attack, and Rapid Movement, among others. Players may play as many of their cards as they wish (up to 5) when it’s their turn, using each card for only one of the possible three purposes. Play passes back and forth between players, until both players have used all their cards… and the Turn is over.
