Shadow Elves are a murderous race and delight in the suffering of others. They prefer to wage war up close and personal where they can experience firsthand the suffering of their opponents. Thier physical beauty belies a savage and sinister nature. A Shadow Elf Enclave is a place of torment and pain for pleasure and the fulfillment of dark desires. The Shadow Elf military forces are primarily made up of formations of spearmen flanked by cultists and cavalry and supported from the rear by archers and bolt throwers. Shock troops such as the Headsmen and War Hydras are kept in reserve and committed to battle when the line is close to breaking or to shatter an enemy formation. Cavalry and scouts attack from the flanks and rear while pirate allies strike from hiding. Get Some! Fantasy Warfare is about getting your models out and playing an enjoyable wargame for a couple of hours with your buddies. It is NOT about WAAC (Winning at all Costs) but about designing an army that fits your collection and play style as well as the background for the Universe you are playing in. Tactics and Command should play the pivotal roles in the battel as well as a little bit of Luck and NOT pimped out units. Armies should be a mix of Melee, Ranged and Magical/Monsterous units. Each should check some of the power of the others in the rock, paper, scissors kind of way, which is similar to actual warfare. –description from the publisher
