BattleLust: Mediaeval Battle System 1992

BattleLust is a gaming system for medieval or medieval-fantasy miniatures reflecting the pre-gunpowder era of warfare. The game is designed for 25mm miniatures, but is adaptable to 15mm. Each miniature represents one warrior with his own physical attributes, weapons, and combat skills.

BattleLust is designed for any number of players. Each player typically commands a company of about twenty warriors, but an experienced player can operate two or more companies. BattleLust is compatible with our role-playing HârnMaster rules. The game can be used as a quick combat system for HârnMaster , or you can use HârnMaster as a source of optional advanced rules for BattleLust.

BattleLust provides a strong contrast to the usual fantasy miniatures game. There are no dragons and monsters here. While there are strong men and weak men, no single hero dominates the battlefield. There is no gunpowder, no war wagons, and no suits of plate armor. Instead, this is a game solidly based on the realities of medieval warfare.
