More BattleLore
The DoW blog has been updated (for about a week now, actually) with new info re: the forthcoming expansions. Yes, BattleLore is going to be a cash cow for Days of Wonder. I like the free Epic expansion. Bigger battles. Woo. Call to Arms looks to be a more traditional boxed add-on with the standard “more stuff” inside.
The “specialist packs” is where I think they are going to make their $$$.
“Each Specialist pack will introduce a couple of new units centered around a common theme. Likely early candidates include a Goblin Skirmisher set, a Dwarven Battalion (complete with the already infamous Dwarven Bagpipers!), and a 100 Years War Battalion. Each of these packs will be available at retail, as well as on our web site, for a retail price of approximately $20.”
The possibilities here are endless. Trolls. Minotaurs. Maybe even additional ranged weapons. Elves. Etc.
Cha-Ching.
