With A Rebel Yell: Battle Cry 2nd Edition On Its Way

Apparently the news leaked out a month ago but I just saw it this week. WOTC is releasing a new edition of Battle Cry later this year.

Battle Cry was the first game in Richard Borg's Commands and Colors system (though technically second, as there is an unpublished Revolutionary War game using the system that predates Battle Cry) and really opened up to my gaming group the idea that light games can be just as enjoyable as the heavy lifting games. The addition of new scenarios is great to hear, and hopefully the rules will now reflect the current systems such as more flexible cards (e.g. in later games special cards usually allowed one to move a single unit if you can't meet the card's conditions while in Battle Cry you're just stuck) and varied victory conditions.

Between this, his upcoming Nappy game, and the fact that Fantasy Flight Games has been doing a great job releasing expansions for Battlelore, this is a great time to be a C&C fan.
