Shadows in the Weald

Shadows in the Weald introduces the Heroes & Hirelings system of fantasy skirmish combat games. Each player controls a Party comprised of two kinds of Characters: Heroes and, you guessed it, Hirelings. Heroes are powerful, named Characters with special abilities. Hirelings are anonymous mooks who give adjacent Characters the benefits (and detriments) of Buffs.

Shadows in the Weald is a fast-paced crazy-action square-and-counter extravaganza with bells on. The game comes with eight different Heroes, eight different types of Hirelings, several Magic Items, and five scenarios. It debuts in the 5th issue of Yaah! magazine.
