戦争や戦時下での冒険を扱ったサプリ。
とは言え大規模戦闘関連のルールはなく、あくまで戦時下、戦場におけるパーティレベルでの活動に焦点をあてています。

色々なサブシステムを導入することで、パーティの活躍に応じて戦況が左右される様を再現したり、戦功を挙げることで勲章や軍での階級といった数字以外の面での報酬を得たり、チームとしての結束・成長を可能にしたり。
戦場を舞台にしたシナリオに関して実例をあげて解説されており、また時間の経過と共に戦線が移動したり環境が変化したり（Vrockの爆撃隊に焼き払われる森林、オークの兵団が塹壕を掘り、補給路の橋が落とされる）、といった流動性の高い環境であることからフローチャートでのシナリオ構成にも触れられています。
勿論PrC、feat(Leader featという新分野有り）、呪文にアイテムなどもありますが、プレイヤー向けの強化・拡張というよりはDM向けの一冊です。
既に該当するようなキャンペーン・シナリオを自分で構築し、やり尽くしたと感じているような事でもない限り、インスピレーションを与えてくれるものと思います。
ただ、活字の大きさとページ数の減少から、ちょっと今までのサプリに比べて割高感有り。

Finally have a name for it...

I have been running adventures for D&D for years that follow more the style of game represented herein, not delving into dungeons on a regular basis but rather encounters in the world. A battlefield campaign is a great idea and Wizards did an excellent job of giving guildlines and rules for running these. The section on victory and recognition points, as well as promotion and decorations is by far my favorite out of this book. While not terribly large for a hard-back this book is packed with information ranging from the 60-minute army to a few new prestige classes (all five-level and very useful) and some new magical items and weapon/armor properties.
If you want to run a game of D&D that doesn't focus on crawling around in ancient ruins or goblin-holes all the time, but instead focuses on the glory and frightfulnes of war and surface skirmshes then this will be an excellent adition to your gaming books.

A worthwhile investment

I give this 5 stars because its one of very few DnD books by Wizards of the Coast that's come out in the past two years that I read from cover to cover. It interested me. A lot of the other titles they've released lately have been the sort of material you pick and choose; sometimes avoiding large sections of altogether, like the race books they released earlier this year. So I guess I'm rating in comparison to other DnD books.
It's not the most amazing or ground-breaking stuff, but it's a different take on the game than most of us choose to use. I guess it was inspiring to me. I've been DMing now for about 20 years, and though I've done a lot of what's in this book on my own at times, I really enjoyed reading it, and I think this book needed to be produced for those who want to run a battle based campaign and didn't know where to start.
A warning, though. If you're looking for feats, races, classes, prestige classes, etc.... this is not that type of book. That being said, I'm glad. Most other DnD books of late have been only those things with a little fluff to make it all part of a theme. This book is good for any DM.

A creative and insightful resource for D&D
2006/2/27
形式:ハードカバー
I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks there's nothing more epic and exciting in a RPG than war. Well this book does a pretty good job of laying the groundwork for a campaign based around battles. It's not all straightforward battlefield stuff either, a lot has to do with different tactics during war.
Things like cutting the enemy's supply lines, battlefield espionage, siege weapons, arrow volleys, etc. It also has what is definitely the best and simplest system for battlefield morale that I've seen (and it's compatable with the D&D miniatures rules) and explains how Leadership and one's rank in the military play into things.
Most of the feats and prestige classes are boring (though the combat medic is excellent) and some of the spells are very interesting. Overall it is an excellent resource.
The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is that it's all very situational, and in a standard campaign none of this will get used. For a campaign that involves medieval warfare and big battles, it earns its pricetag, which I can say for less and less of WoTC's product line of late.
