If you are a true gamer, you dont just play video games but RPGs and Table top games as well. For those of you who do not know, Warhammer Fantasy is a game played out with miniatures that form an army of various races like Humans, orks, elves, undead, dwarfs, Skaven (rat people), and other races. This game tries to take the table top game's fun without the hours it takes to set up and roll dice and move all the peices in the game. You play as a Mercinary army out to get money by any means, including missions to deal with the power of chaos and warp that is causing the Skaven and Orks to get more powerfull then they normaly should be. As you progres, you can pick up more items, upgrade your armor, and recrute more units for your army. Each army has stats that effect their battle, such as the number of attacks per turn, the weapon skill, the toughness of a unit, and other skills. As they gain more expereince they become stronger, but they must also have their ranks refreshed as they lose soldiers, and that costs money. The game has a pretty good story line that really makes you have to deside on which way would be better. Go for more special items, look for more cash, get more precious experience, or help out units to get more recruting armys to build up your force. There is a few problems though. It is ungodly hard to hide your army, as suprize and rear attacks are needed to get minimized casualtys, but the enamy can almost always spot you before hand. Also special items that you use sometimes dont work as well as they should. Sometimes when you battle a weak army like goblins, they can somehow make your troop scatter and run, causing them to all get slaughtered from behind. And even more aggitating is when you fight monsters, having to check your moral to fight it, you will almost always fail 100% of the time, not fighting back as they charge you and kill all your men in seconds. Also the only time you have a monster in your ranks is one battle when you have a Trent, but he is distroyed almost instantly by skaven with warp fire, which is super effective on it. Lastly, puting up units costs cash to do so, more as they advance, while even if you feild all your units you can still have an unfair fight of 5 army units against 20 or so enemy units. Still, the game requires something that other games dont, brains, you have to figure out to way to win. Good game since now it is so cheep to get.
