En Garde is a stand alone tabletop game of Elvish Duelling set upon the very cusp of a civil war. A war which will tear the Crystal Empire apart and see Crown Prince  Mordred replace his mother the Empress Morgana upon the Peacock Throne.  A war which, when it comes, will see Wylde Magicke usurped from its paramount place in Urop and the power of Black Powder take the Elves and then all of Valon by storm.  Tensions run high between the Imperial Elves and the new Garde followers of Mordred.  The old ways are crumbling and power is up for grabs. Duelling is a matter of personal honour and the ultimate test of skill.  Will you prevail?  Now take up your sword and assume a guarding stance!

You will find inside:

Complete Rules for Duelling

Create and arm your Characters

Sword Schools and Combat Skills

Honour and Reputation Development

Duelling with Swords, with Pistols and on Horseback

Expanded rules for The Grand Melee

The Types of Arenas in En Garde

You will also find a story which takes you to the very start of the story of the setting of Flintloque the Skirmish in a time as the Darke Age ends and the invention of the ‘flintloque’ and the ambition of Mordred sets the course for the Ferach Revolution and the Mordredian Wars.  Where it all began!

Written by Steve Danes, Gavin Syme with artwork by Sam Croes and Edward Jackson.  See the WEBSITE for full contents of the book and page images too.

You only need two miniatures to play En Garde though of course you may wish for a collection of Elves armed with swords, pistols and more which can of course be used in other Valon games.  We are giving you one of the two you need for free in the form of the brand new CE27-01 Juliet Constantine a female Elf officer who features in the book and on its cover too.  Sculpted by Sam Croes she is included free in your pre-order package if you purchase the print rules as book or bundle.  

The Crystal Elf Empire range has more than seventy excellent 28mm scale Elves in it many of which are suitable for En Garde including Crown Prince Mordred himself on horseback plus the Empress Morgana upon her throne (above).  Every miniature can be had as a pack or single with the pack on its page. See them all HERE.

Fully restored from their original 1990’s master molds our ten Crystal Elf Duellists five Imperial and five Garde are on the website in the En Garde collection and you can get them as packs or singles all included in this event and its discount.  The bundle of book and ten duellists includes all ten above.

We will return half way through the pre-order period with more information on the En Garde rules including full examples of play taken from the book and the short story called ‘En Garde’ which features Juliet Constantine. Thank you as always for your support and enjoy the offer.
