{"product_id":"mortem-et-gloriam-an-introduction","title":"Mortem et Gloriam - An introduction","description":"\u003cp\u003eMortem et Gloriam was launched in 2016 and has gathered a large body of support and players over the last 3 years - culminating in a fine World Championship played in 2019 with representatives from UK, France and the USA all competing for the title.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis free title is an introduction to MEG, and gives you all the background to the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaximus (largest) is our big battle game. Armies typically have 10-20 ÒunitsÓ and 70-100 bases. It is played on a 6Õx4Õ table with 15mm, or a 9Õx5Õ table with 28mm figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMagna (large) has been designed to allow our great looking 28mm figures to be used on a standard 6Õx4Õ or to play 15mm scale where it is played on a 4Õx3Õ table. Armies still have 10-20 ÒunitsÓ, and this is why the game is fundamentally the same, just with fewer bases per unit. An army will typically be 40-60 bases. Games play to a conclusion in about 2 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePacto (compact) is our small game, but in no way feels small as it keeps all the main features of Maximus that players like. Armies still have 10-20 ÒunitsÓ - so again this is why it keeps the feel of the larger games. But it can be played with armies of just 20-30 bases, making it good for travel and easy to build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are someone who is starting tabletop wargaming for the first time, may I warmly welcome you to the hobby and a fantastic future of fun and camaraderie playing at being a general with your friends. Have fun!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simon Hall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44927165399201,"sku":"9781111146424","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/2pzvd6-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1747373309","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/mortem-et-gloriam-an-introduction","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
