background information on Ghur, the Realm of Beasts, which is the setting for
this General’s Handbook and Pitched Battle Season.

eight battle tactics that can be used to determine who won the game. They
reflect commands given by the leaders of the army over the course of the

battle each turn: Broken Ranks, Conquer, Slay the Warlord, Ferocious Advance,
Savage Spearhead, Aggressive Expansion, Monstrous Takeover, and Bring It
Down!
