One of the games that launched to great acclaim at the end of 2006 was BattleLore, a 2-player wargame built around the Command & Colours system seen in games like Memoir ’44 and Command & Colors: Ancients. I have all three of these games, but whilst M44 has seen Randy and I play many, many games, Battlelore has been mostly unrepresented. It just doesn’t catch our attention as much… though if anyone wants to come over to my place to have a few games, I’d be happy to accomodate them.

However, it has come to my attention that the real reason that we haven’t played it a lot is…

It doesn’t have Daleks in the base set!

Despite not playing BL much, I do have a couple of the expansions, and plan to get more; although games like StarCraft, Descent and Agricola are also competing for my money…
