LIBRARIAN'S SUMMARY

Hordes & Heroes is a hex-based big battle system designed minimal bookkeeping. Published by Kallistra to support their 12mm miniature ranges, the game emphasizes quick movement, streamlined combat resolution, and flexible army building through an open points system that lets players customize forces or recreate historical battles. The rules support everything from small evening clashes to sprawling multi-player engagements, with army lists spanning ancient Greeks through Hundred Years War armies and everything in between. There is even a separate fantasy version on the Kallistra website. The free PDFs are well illustrated and professionally presented.
