Materials
Here are the things you’ll need to play a game.
You’ll need another human to play against, though you could assume this role yourself if you like.
You’ll need to have enough space to handle the battlefield (see Battlefield) plus a small area to the side for storing miniatures not currently in the game and other items.
You’ll need enough miniatures to represent the forces selected for both sides of the game.
This will include the consoles
for each miniature, any markers or tokens to use to represent effects and command allocation.
A tape measure is common, though you can certainly use a ruler or anything else marked with the appropriate units.
