Hello Tribers,

We’ve just added the new PDF version of the Battles of Valerna rulebook for you to download from MMF. Alessio and Jack have been hard at work over these past months to fine-tune the ruleset to make Battles of Valerna even more enjoyable than it was before.

The main changes for this iteration are:

The Upgrade Tokens have been replaced with a deck of Artifact cards. This allows players to equip their Heroes with powerful magical items to create killer combos and bluff the enemy into defeat.
We have introduced a Neutral Units section to the rulebook. This includes Mercenaries and Monsters, bringing all the amazing models from the Tribes subscription into your games of Battles of Valerna.
We have expanded the Vaala cards available to each magic user in the game.
Multiple combats have been streamlined. We got rid of multiple combats with units both flanking and flanked at the same time – each unit can be either flanked or flanking, not both.
We have merged Captains and Heroes into Heroes. Smoother Command rules that introduce new and interesting tactical choices. 
Pitched Battle is now the main game mode, as we felt it was the most fun and interesting. The other scenarios are available as alternative choices. 
We have re-balanced the points values and found that 50-point games are also great fun – tactical and fast when you don’t have an afternoon to enjoy a full game of Battles of Valerna.
Download it for yourself and let us know what you think over on Discord.
