## Description
Warmaster is a miniature wargame that throws you into epic battles in a fantasy world. Made by the same folks behind Warhammer, the game focuses on large-scale combat where you command entire regiments and brigades. The combat mechanics are intense: each unit has 'stands' representing their forces, and as you lose stands, your attack power dwindles. The command system is simple but brilliant: your leaders have a command value, and you must roll dice to see if your orders are followed. The more orders you give, the harder it gets — creating delicious tension and strategic unpredictability. The game is designed for 10mm miniatures, but you can adapt it to other scales if you want. Get ready for hours of strategy, dice rolls, and plenty of tales of glory (or tragedy) on the battlefield!
