The Extension

 
MONTJOIE was first published in Claymore Nr 5 in 1995, together with a complete campaign based on a Robin Hood-like theme (this campaign is not available yet on this site).

This second edition adds various rules including the ones for hoardings which add a new dimension to siege tactics.

The Map
Standard size map showing one slope of a hill. Perfect for Hastings or Crecy-type of scenarios. 2 each maps can be assembled to represent a complete hill, or when reversing them, a small gulch prone to be ambushed. Version 2 brings this map to the latest standards: Normalized hex grid, text font, color of the ground and redesigned trees and brushes.

The Characters

    
These characters are a modification of the Rebels counters from Dark Blades/Dragon Noir. They represent various types of light cavalry, an omitted class of characters by the original games. These counters have been created by Reanonyme, with edits by the writer for names and combat values to remain consistent with other similar units (like the turcopoles of CROISADES).
