Review & Description
Hammer of the Scots is an excellent way to get introduced to wargaming, as well as a way to provide insight into the fighting at the time of William Wallace, aka Braveheart. It covers the whole of Scotland, including English border towns. Event cards recreate the uncertainties of warfare during those time, and hidden unit strengths create an unparalleled fog of war to the hobby.
In order to create a fog of war, unit blocks are stood up with the backs facing the opponent. In this manner the opponent not tell the type or the strength of the units being deployed against him until battle begins. Along the sides of the unit blocks, only visible to the owner until it comes time for combat, are numbers that represent the strength of the unit. The current strength is on top. As the unit takes losses, it is rotated so a lesser value is on top.
